Guess who hopped into our museum! 🐸
 
Say hello to some of our newest residents: Southern Toads (Anaxyrus terrestris). Native to southeastern United States, these amphibians are easy to spot thanks to the two bony ridges that run forward from behind their eyes.
 
Fun fact: Southern Toads don’t have the sticky, tape-like tongues some other species do. Instead, their saliva shifts from watery to thick and gluey the moment they catch prey.
 
Come say hi to them in The Vista on Level 4 during your next visit!
