Gastrophryne olivacea
—
Western Narrow-mouthed Toad
Also known as:
Great Plains Narrow-mouthed Toad
This odd little blob of a frog would have spent the entire day hunkered down under a rock if not for the group of milksnake-seeking herpers that descended on his area that afternoon. Don't worry, we returned it to its chosen resting place after getting a few photos.
