fatfrogsblog:Mexican burrowing toad (Rhinophrynus dorsalis) “The only species, within the only genus of the family Rhinophrynidae, and with over 190 million years of independent evolution, the Mexican burrowing toad is the most evolutionarily distinct amphibian species on Earth today; a fruit bat, polar bear, killer whale, kangaroo and human are all more similar to one another than this species is to any other amphibian. Although relatively common, the Mexican burrowing toad is rarely seen as this species spends the majority of the year living solely underground, only emerging after the first heavy rains to congregate for breeding in temporary pools.” (http://www.edgeofexistence.org/amphibians/species_info.php?id=1355) -- source link
