Here we see a male boreal toad [a subspecies of the western toad, Anaxyrus boreas boreas] awaiting the arrival of females to a pond in Thurston County, Washington. This species is native to the west coast of North America. These toads are commonly found in the Southern Rocky Mountains, and are the only alpine toad species native to Colorado. Their population has recently been on the decline due to the spread of chytrid fungus. Images by Gary Nafis. -- source link
