Natterjack Toad
Epidalea calamita
The natterjack toad is a toad native to sandy and heathland areas of Europe including the United Kingdom. Adults are 60–70 mm (2.4–2.8 in) in length, and are distinguished from common toads by a yellow line down the middle of the back and parallel paratoid glands. They have relatively short legs, which gives them a distinctive gait, contrasting with the hopping movement of many other toad species.
