Toad in the hole ...

... well, it lives behind the washing machine, actually. When the rains come, so do the giant toads. They are extremely abundant at times and can be heard all night. This one and feeds off whatever comes out of the drain near the washing machine. He has even become used to me and won't budge when approached. He's part of the family now.

Order: Anura - Frogs and Toads
Family: Bufonidae - True Toads
Vernacular name: Common Asiatic Toad
Scientific name: Duttaphrynus melanostictus (Schneider, 1799)
