About Bufo bankorensis Barbour, 1908
Bufo bankorensis Barbour, 1908 is a large toad species. Individuals can reach a snout–vent length of 15 cm (5.9 in), and some grow as large as 20 cm (7.9 in). Females of this species are larger than males. It has a short snout, lacks a dorsolateral ridge, and does not have a prominent tympanum. Its parotoid glands are kidney-shaped, and its rough skin is covered in pointed tubercles of varying sizes. Its base coloration is light brown, with markings in orange, yellow, or black. This toad occurs in a variety of habitats at elevations up to 3,000 m (9,800 ft), including broadleaf forests, mixed forests, cultivated fields, and orchards. Individuals forage for insects on rainy nights. Breeding occurs in both streams and pools. Research has recorded that temperate populations of this toad can breed year-round, while subtropical populations only breed in the cooler part of the year, from September to March. Although Bufo bankorensis is a common species, habitat loss remains a threat to it. It is also collected for use as food and in traditional medicine.
