What is the best toad species, and why is it Anaxyrus terrestris?
Okay Anaxyrus terrestris is definitely a Good Toad™, but I’m not sure if you’re aware of the diversity of toads; A. terrestris is up against some steep competition.
For instance, is A. terrestris blue with yellow spots like Rentapia hosii?

No I thought not.
Is A. terrestris svelt, nimble, and covered in bright reticulated patterns like Atelopus hoogmoedi?

No I thought not.
Is A. terrestris one of the largest frogs in the world and causing widespread ecological havoc in Australia like Rhinella marina?

Is A. anaxyrus a miniaturised toad with comically large hands and feet like Pelophryne albotaeniata?

Does A. terrestis climb trees and give birth to fully developed froglets like Nectophrynoides viviparus?

IN SUMMARY, Anaxyrus terrestris is good, but who can say it’s the best when there are so many incredible true toads out there??
