Moroccan Toad
Sclerophrys mauritanica
This large North African toad is maintained by specialist amphibian keepers. A broad warty body, brown to olive coloring and pale markings around darker patches help distinguish it from painted frogs. Keepers provide roomy ground-level enclosures with soil, hides, moist retreats, clean water and varied invertebrate prey. Females lay eggs in water, and the young develop as tadpoles. Its stout shape and glandular skin differ from the smoother, more pointed-snouted Moroccan painted frog.
