They eat ants, beetles, flies, termites, and other small invertebrates. This broad diet helps them thrive in human-edge habitats where prey changes constantly.

Snakes, birds, mammals, larger frogs, road traffic, drying pools, and pollution can threaten them. Toxic skin and night activity improve survival.

They are mostly nocturnal, hiding by day in damp shelters and emerging after dusk or rain to feed and call.

Many wild toads live several years when moisture and breeding pools remain available. Survival depends on avoiding dehydration and repeated seasonal hazards.

Females lay strings of eggs in ponds, ditches, or temporary water. Tadpoles develop quickly when warm shallow water remains long enough.

Males are usually smaller and call during breeding periods, while females grow larger and carry eggs. The differences become clearest around wet-season breeding.
