There were just tons of these guys down at the forest today. I think it's an American Toad not sure cute little fella and easy to catch. I let them all go again :) Also found an abundance of leopard frogs down there which is nice. Won't be long though it'll be all gone. The Kitchener construction trucks just keep getting deeper and deeper into it. There is so much life in this little patch of forest in the middle of the city even deer and blue herring are still squishing themselves in there. What a shame to see it all go. Yes wave goodbye little frog.
( I released this frog right after taking this picture , I never take animals out of the wild. )
I think this is an endangered species. Too bad they couldn't have taken a better look at the present nature before they put all those big expensive houses in there. Ah well, all the broken glass, needles and foaming toxic sludge in the creek killing all the crayfish was not a good place for animals anyway. There was a ferret or weasel-like critter as well and a muskrat den. Twice now my son has spotted and taken pics of a fox.And there is a population of red-tailed hawks as well. Down Blazer road. I know not too far off by the Grand river there is or was an endangered newt with an orange belly a long time ago he was rescued and put on the list.
