Common toad
Strup v kožiJe: MesoStrupena za dotik ali zaužitje, ne ob ugrizu ali pikuThe common toad is a stout, warty toad that lives across most of Europe, in western North Asia and in a small part of northwest Africa. It hides under stones and leaves by day and hunts slugs, beetles and worms at night. Its skin releases a foul-tasting toxin that helps protect it from predators.1

Kako jo prepoznaš
- Greyish-brown, olive-brown or brown skin covered in small, wart-like lumps1
- Bulging paratoid glands just behind the eyes, which are a clear sign of a toad1
- Yellow or copper-coloured eyes with horizontal, slit-shaped pupils1
- No tail, no teeth, and no neck visible between the head and body1
- Walks slowly or makes short shuffling hops, rather than leaping1
Pogosto zamenjujejo z: The natterjack toad is usually smaller and has a yellow band down its back. The European green toad has a distinctive mottled pattern. The paratoid glands of both of these run parallel to each other, not slanting as in the common toad. The common frog has a less rounded snout, damp smooth skin, and usually leaps.1
Moč strupa
Njena koža je strupena. Nevarno se je je dotakniti, jo polizati ali pojesti.
Kaj naredi njen strup, če se je dotakneš ali jo poješ?
The toad is poisonous rather than venomous, so it does not inject venom. Its paratoid glands and other skin glands secrete a noxious, foul-tasting substance containing bufotoxin, which is enough to deter many predators. Grass snakes seem to be unaffected by it.1
Kako nevarna je za ljudi?
Nevarnost za ljudi: BolečeLahko zelo boli, a skoraj nikoli ni resno.Kaj naredi, ko se prestraši?
When attacked, it inflates its body and stands with its hindquarters raised and its head lowered.1
Če se je je kdo dotaknil ali jo pojedel
- Če se je je kdo dotaknil: dobro umij roke in se ne dotikaj oči ali ust. Če jo je otrok ali hišni ljubljenček polizal ali pojedel: pokliči center za zastrupitve ali številko za klic v sili.
Vedno najprej pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911). To so splošna navodila za prvo pomoč, ne zdravniški nasvet. Osnove prve pomoči
Ostani varen
- Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
- Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
- Če si se je dotaknil ali jo pojedel: ne drgni si oči ali ust, umij si roke in poišči zdravniško pomoč.
Ne preži nate. Njen strup je tam samo zato, da je nihče ne poje. Več o varnosti

Dejstva
Common toads have been recorded at depths of about 99 m in Loch Ness, Scotland, which surprised researchers because it is an air-breathing animal.1
Crows have been seen puncturing the toad's skin and pecking out its liver to avoid the toxin.1
They can live for about ten to twelve years in the wild and have survived for fifty years in captivity.1
Toads can see prey in low light where humans cannot see anything.1
Adults often return to the same breeding pond year after year, and over 80% of males marked as juveniles were found to return to the pond where they were spawned.1
