CURURU TOAD Rhinella icterica
This huge toad is easily confused with the similar but much commoner Rococo Toad. Note that this species has smoother skin, (ok its still warty but the warts are larger and less numerous), whilst the gland behind the eye is rounded at the posterior end rather than pointed. This species tends to be more associated with forested areas.
