Arizona toad or Anaxyrus Microscaphus is an amphibian of the southwestern United States. It is located in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Nevada. Arizona toads have one pale strip over their heads and are usually gray, green or brown with smooth, war skin and pale belly. The color of this toad varies depending on the place and helps him to mix into his surroundings. Arizona toad reaches a length of 2 to 3.25 inches (5 to 8.25 centimeters) at maturity and tadps are about 1.5 inches (3.8 centimeters) long. They are found in canyons, freshwater swamps and flood plains. The Arizona toad is also visited by irrigated fields, washing and water ditches. It prefers space open in the sky without a thick tree cover. Men went to call to attract women. If there is no answer, the male toad of Arizona can catch a woman who goes through. It can take place at any time between February and July, depending on temperature and height. Most eggs successfully hatch after about 3-6 days and youngThey remain in the pulse stage phase anywhere from 1 to 4 months. Almost 100% of hatchling survives and is subject to metamorphosis.

Tadpoles survive on the diet of plants, while adult toads are mostly carnivorous and benefit snail and insects that catch their long, sticky tongues. Mine and young toads are more active during the day and then mostly become night as adults. The toads normally move by jumping, although they sometimes navigate a slow walk or browsing. Adults generally spend the days underground and give dreams to seek friends and breed.

Many children like to catch frogs and toads, but Arizona toad is one amphibian to avoid manipulation. It has glands behind the eyes capable of secreting poison fluid. When this poison touches the mucous membranes of the mouth, it can cause nausea, inflammation, irregular heart rhythm and sometimes can be fatal.

Although mostArizona's toad survives metamorphosis, their number then decreases due to the predation of birds, snakes, raccoon and other small mammals. The loss of habitats due to human development can also reduce the local population of Arizona toad. However, this toad is no shortage and does not appear on lists of endangered species.
