EDITORS COMMENTS
Love in the Desert: Couch's Spadefoot Toad Serenades His Lady!". In this snapshot by John Cancalosi, we witness a true romantic at work. Meet CAN-2296, the charming male Couch's Spadefoot Toad, who knows that wooing his lady love requires some serious vocal skills. Beneath the starry night sky of a North American desert, our dapper amphibian suitor is putting on quite a show! With his throat inflated to impressive proportions and eyes gleaming with determination, he unleashes an anxious bleat that sounds oddly similar to a sheep in distress. But fear not; this peculiar call is actually music to female Couch's Spadefoot ears. It signals their potential mate's readiness for courtship during periods of rainfall from May to September. And boy, does he know how to make himself heard! This Casanova can be found in various habitats like shortgrass prairies, mesquite savannas, thorn forests, and even tropical deciduous forests – as long as there's low rainfall involved. Talk about adaptability! So next time you find yourself wandering through deserts or grasslands across America, keep your ears open for the enchanting croak of our courageous Romeo. He may just be serenading his way into another successful reproduction story amidst nature’s wonders.
