Information about the Great Plains Toad:

The Great Plains Toad is a relatively large species of toad. It ranges from southern Alberta, throughout the midwest United States and the inland western United States into northern Mexico. It can grow to anywhere between 2 and 4.5 inches (5.1 and 11 centimeters) long. Its primary diet is various species of worms and other small invertebrates. It often burrows in the ground, so this toad generally favors open grasslands with loose soil. Breeding occurs throughout the spring and summer months, most often immediately after heavy rainfall. In dry areas it may only emerge from its burrow for a few weeks when conditions are right, and usually at night, but in areas with permanent water bodies and abundant rain it may be active all day. Its mating call is a very loud, harsh chirping noise repeated many times, very fast. The toad is predated by the plains garter snake (Thamnophis radix).

The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:

• Paper thickness: 10.3 mil

Description

Fine art illustration of a Great Plains Toad (Anaxyrus cognatus.) The illustration is available in black and white or color.

Artist’s notes:

The Great Plains Toad was completed on 6.1.2013. This drawing is the last in a series – all extant species of toads and frogs native to my home state of Minnesota. As I’ve developed a technique that greatly speeds up the process of illustration, I’ve been able to expand the number of species I can add to the illustration library. Some years ago it would have taken me 3-4 days to complete a drawing like this. Now I can do it about 4-7 hours, usually in one day. The drawing is based on a photo by Alice Abela.
