 Lost Pond Trail - Toad Beside The Trail

 

A fist sized toad is so well camoflaged that it is almost invisible against the ground litter.

American Toads are common in the moist forest of the White Mountains, but most of them are smaller than this large specimen seen near the south end of Lost Pond. The warts on toads often contain noxious substances that help discourage predators from eating them.
