Western Toad (#Anaxyrus #boreas) - California subspecies (A. b. #halophilus) - not too far geographically from the type specimen, I mention that because I believe A. boreas is a cryptic species complex.

All photos "In Situ", the specimen was not handled (regional park, plus I hadn't recently washed my hands and didn't want to transmit disease).
