Pretty toad for identification – SOLVED – Iberian spadefoot toad

[MiguelCádiz]

Hello, I took this picture last spring but don’t know what sort of frog or toad it is… Any ideas?

Hi Miguel Nice photo… 🙂 … This is an Iberian spadefoot toad (Pelobates cultripes) or Sapo de Espuelas in Spanish

I think they are pretty much only present in Iberia and some parts of southern France.

Wikipedia has a good entry about them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelobates_cultripes
