Like other toads, they hide in burrows by day and become active at night. Can become active in late March, but breeding begins in late April or early May, peaking in mid-May. Like other species of toads, this species lays several thousand eggs in flooded fields, ditches, ponds, pools, and streams. These hatch in about a week. The black tadpoles begin to change into toadlets by late June or mid-July. The distinctive calls add to the symphony of an outdoor evening on the river. This species provides food for several species of aquatic snakes, as well as other predators.
As a hunter itself, the Rocky Mountain toad checks the populations of many insect species. Rocky Mountain Toad. Field Guide Aquatic Invertebrates. Butterflies and Moths. Land Invertebrates. Reptiles and Amphibians. Trees, Shrubs and Woody Vines. Wildflowers, Grasses and Other Nonwoody Plants.
Scientific Name. Common Name Synonyms. Habitat and Conservation Mainly found in sandy river bottoms and lowlands, and open, dry areas adjacent to marshes. Tadpoles hatch rapidly, depending on temperature and can metamorphose in two to three weeks. Like most other frogs and toads, Woodhouse's toads feed on small insects. Females are larger than males.
