        The toad jumps. Its skin is rough. It lives in cool places, at the river, in the swamp and in the mud. In the rainy season they jump around, being happy about the cool air and the puddles. This is also the season when they very loudly croak.

        The toads stay in cold places and near the rivers. They can swim in rivers that do not have a strong current, in creeks and in puddles of rainwater. They also can walk on the ground and jump around. Their colour is dark brown with some black spots that are on their body.

        The toads lay eggs at the side of creeks or in puddles and mud puddles. When they are grown up, they leave the water. The toads eat little snakes of the water, and whatever they can eat.
