Asian common toad
Ushevu esikhumbeni sasoSidla: InyamaSinoshevu, asinabo ubuthi bokuluma noma bokuhlabaThe Asian common toad is a large toad found across much of South and Southeast Asia. It grows to about 20 cm long and is often seen at night under street lamps. It matters because it has spread to places where it does not belong, and experts worry it could harm local wildlife.1

Indlela yokusibona
- Grows to about 20 cm long1
- Back is yellowish or brownish, with black spines and ridges1
- Large, kidney-shaped or elongated parotoid glands behind the eyes, which are prominent1
- Ear drum (tympanum) is very distinct, at least two-thirds the width of the eye1
- Short, blunt snout and several bony ridges on top of the head1
Amandla oshevu
Isikhumba saso sinoshevu. Kuyingozi ukusithinta, ukusikhotha noma ukusidla.
Ushevu waso wenzani?
Its parotoid glands secrete milky white bufotoxin, a toxin, from its back. It uses this to deter predators. The toxin would beyond reasonable doubt severely affect native predators such as snakes, goannas and quolls.1
Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?
Ingozi ebantwini: Kubi kakhuluUma umuntu esithinta noma esidla, yana kudokotela. Ukufa kuyivelakancane kakhulu.Senzani uma sesabile?
Its glands in the back release toxin to deter predators.1
Uma umuntu esithintile noma esidlile
- Uma umuntu esithintile: geza izandla kahle futhi ungathinti amehlo noma umlomo. Uma ingane noma isilwane sasekhaya sisikhothile noma sisidlile: shayela isikhungo soshevu noma inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo.
Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala
Hlala uphephile
- Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
- Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
- Uma usithintile noma usidlile: ungahlikihli amehlo noma umlomo wakho, geza izandla zakho futhi uthole usizo lwezokwelapha.
Asikuzingeli wena. Ushevu waso ukhona nje ukuze kungabikho okusidlayo. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile

Amaqiniso
It has been described as one of Australia's '10 most unwanted' species, and as potentially more damaging than the cane toad.1
Madagascar's native predators lack resistance to its toxins, which could affect local wildlife there.1
Tadpoles have been shown to be able to recognise their kin.1
Tadpoles grown in sibling groups metamorphosed faster than those kept in mixed groups.1
