We're gonna knock over the bank, see? And Corageous Cat and Minute Mouse aint gonna get in the way, see?
Two different species to a biologist; one would think they’d be more rigorous in print. A toad is of the family Bufonidae and a frog is of the family Ranidae. The distinction is unimportant to me personally as well but if this purports to be a scientific document I think more care should be used.
This is further PROOF that scientists do not know what is extinct, what is not, what is endangered, etc.
It is all hysteria to get power and money.
Ask any female if you drop one down her blouse if it makes any difference..............;^)
I think it’s safe to say that scientists can label something endangered. Extinction requires the proof of that absence of something. Last I checked, the Earth was pretty large.

You may be thinking of Old Rip.
LOL, good one!!!!
Queer toads? Who knew?
Borneo Rainbow Toad? Weren’t they the opening band for the rolling stones?
So now the question “if no one sees a Bornean Rainbow Toad for 87 years,do they still exist?” has been answered.
For some reason this popped in my head when I saw the title:

I don’t know about eating them, but they would make a cool looking boots and belt combo
It’s definitely a toad. As weird as it may sound, when I was a kid, I wanted to be a herpatologist when I grew up. From age 4 or so to about age 11 or 12. I knows me my toads, and that there is one of ‘em. Pretty little gal, too. I’d be willing to bet she made some very lucky male rainbow toad a wonderful wife.
All that hyerventialting is causing more CO2 to be released and increasing global warming. That gal needs to calm the heck down! /s
Sure it’s a toad. So why is it listed on a list of the ten most looked for frogs?
