@thepacificpals: Behold the western green toad, a tiny desert survival expert! These spotted amphibians live in some of the driest parts of the Southwest by spending most of the year underground, waiting for summer storms. When the rain hits, they leap into action, feeding, calling and breeding in short-lived puddles. They are small, tough and brilliantly adapted, proving that amphibians can thrive even where water is rare…as long as there is a sensible jacuzzaroo to chill in (according to Elsie.) @Aquarium of the Pacific 🦭
