Common Toads. Bufo bufo #marsh. - a photo on Flickriver

            The colour of the toad varies according to the colour of the soil in its habitat.  If the soil is a greyish colour, the toads skin tends to be greyish to blend in. If the soil is more brownish, the toad tends to be more brownish.

Being creatures of habit, you can often find them in the same spot week after week, but because they are able to blend in with their background, and remain motionless for hours at a time, they can be difficult to spot.

A toad stalks its prey until it's close enough to shoot its sticky tongue out and catch it.  To help swallow its food, it blinks to push the food down.

Although they are normally associated with water toads, and frogs, spend most of their lives on dry land.nbsp; They will rest in the same hiding place each day, after their nightly hunt for food.
