Short Videos
boreal toad boreal toad  
A toad gives a release call after he is picked up and gently grasped across the back. (It may sound like this toad is suffering, but it is not being harmed. This is a warning call, the same one he makes when another male toad comes into his territory or climbs onto his back and grabs him tightly with his legs.) An adult Boreal Toad hops around a coastal plain in Humboldt County.
