Paradise toad

The paradise toad is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae found in Richtersveld, Bushmanland and Namaqualand regions in western South Africa and adjacent Namibia.
Paradise toad is sympatric with the closely related karoo toad. It differs from karoo toad by its characteristic call and morphological traits such as poorly developed parotoid glands, weakly developed tarsal fold, small tympanum, relatively smooth skin, and large eyes.
Its natural habitats are arid rocky areas close to permanent or seasonal water. It is potentially threatened by habitat loss caused by water extraction.
