Meet the Couch Spadefoot - Arizona's Master of DIY Burrows!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by John Cancalosi, we catch a glimpse of the incredible burrowing skills of the Couch Spadefoot. With their unique technique of backing into the ground and using their spades to push dirt while rotating their bodies, these amphibians have truly mastered the art of excavation. During dry periods, when water is scarce, these resourceful creatures retreat to self-made burrows or seek refuge in cozy homes built by gophers-squirrels or kangaroo rats. Talk about smart house-hunting! Breeding primarily from May to September during rainfall seasons, these little diggers can be found in various habitats ranging from shortgrass prairies to thorn forests and even tropical deciduous forests. They sure know how to adapt! But what sets them apart is their distinctive call - an anxious bleat that resembles that of a sheep. This peculiar sound carries for great distances, serving as nature's matchmaking signal for bringing together male and female Couch Spadefoots. So next time you're exploring Arizona's wildlife wonders, keep an ear out for this unique symphony and marvel at the remarkable abilities of our underground architects – the Couch Spadefoots!
