$19.95 – $27.95
Information about the Canadian Toad:
The Canadian Toad is a species of amphibian found in the prairie regions of central Canada south to parts of United States upper Mid-West. Its binominal name comes from the Latin words “bufonis” which means toad, and “hemiophrys” meaning the eyebrow. This name refers to the pronounced brow of the toad. The Canadian Toad possesses the typical toad traits; they do not have a tail or teeth, they have horizontal pupils and their dry skin is thick and bumpy. They are medium-sized toads, growing to about 2.25-3 inches long. The females grow a little larger than the males. To survive the long and cold winters, the toads enter a torpor state, where they burrow down very deep into the ground, creating small holes where they will be sheltered from the freezing temperatures, emerging in the spring to feed and seek mates.

Artist’s notes:
The Canadian Toad was completed on 5.26.2013. A few weeks ago I decided to draw all the native frogs and toads of my home state of Minnesota. I had only a couple left – two toads, the Canadian and Great Plains Toads. I found it was a little tricky getting reference photos of the Canadian Toad, but luckily I found a great reference photo on the Cal-Berkeley Photo Library by Richard Sage, who was kind enough to allow me to use it to create this drawing. At some point I hope to draw all species of toads native to North America, although that will take several years no doubt.
