toadschooled:Nothing wrong with sharing the pond with some friends. Here we see a gathering of male European common toads [Bufo bufo], likely waiting for females to arrive. In experiments, European common toads have shown the ability to return to the breeding pond of their birth even when deliberately displaced. Although this ability has been heavily researched, it’s still unclear whether these toads rely on magnetism, olfactory cues, vision, or a combination of all senses to find their way back to their favorite ponds. These toads were found in Germany by iNaturalist user Reddad. -- source link
