CAN-2303 - The Couch Spadefoot - Master of Underground Living!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by John Cancalosi, we witness the incredible burrowing skills of the Couch Spadefoot in action. With their unique technique of backing into the ground while pushing dirt with their spades and rotating their bodies, these amphibian acrobats create cozy self-made burrows or seek refuge in those belonging to gophers-squirrels or kangaroo rats during dry periods. This versatile creature knows no boundaries when it comes to habitat selection, thriving in various environments such as shortgrass prairies, mesquite savannas, creosote bush deserts, thorn forests, tropical deciduous forests, and other areas with low rainfall. Talk about adaptability! But that's not all; the Couch Spadefoot also possesses a vocal talent that would make even sheep envious! Its anxious bleat-like call can be heard for great distances and serves as a melodious invitation to bring together potential mates during breeding seasons from May to September. So next time you stumble upon this extraordinary amphibian artist at work underground or hear its enchanting serenade echoing through nature's corridors, take a moment to appreciate the wonders of wildlife. And remember - there's always more than meets the eye beneath our feet!
