NPS/ Males call in the early evening with high pitch vibrations made with their vocal cords and vocal sac. The vocal sac acts as an amplifier as the toad moves air back and forth between its lungs making the air vibrate and creating a cricket like chirp. Breeding is initiated by rainfall usually between the months of April through September. This unique toad does not lay eggs in a long string like other North American toads but deposits them one at a time on the bottom of watery pools. |
