EDITORS COMMENTS
Love in the Rain: Couch's Spadefoot Toads - A Tale of Amphibian Romance!". In this print by John Cancalosi, we witness a truly enchanting moment in the lives of Couch's Spadefoot toads. The male and female are locked in amplexus, a passionate embrace that signifies their commitment to each other. But there's more to this story than meets the eye! As if posing for the camera, these adorable amphibians proudly display a cluster of eggs they have just laid. Talk about multitasking! Breeding primarily during periods of rainfall from May to September, these resilient creatures can be found across various habitats with low rainfall. Their melodious call resembles an anxious bleat of a sheep – imagine tiny shepherds serenading their loved ones under moonlit skies! Whether it's shortgrass prairies, mesquite savannas, or even thorn forests and tropical deciduous forests, Couch's Spadefoots know how to make themselves at home. This picture is not just another wildlife snapshot; it captures the essence of love and reproduction in nature. It reminds us that even amidst challenging environments and changing climates, life finds a way. So next time you hear an anxious bleat on your outdoor adventure, remember that it might just be two spadefoots declaring their eternal love for one another!
