EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a side view of a captive Marine Toad, scientifically known as Bufo marinus. The intricate details captured in this image are truly remarkable. One cannot help but notice the prominent bony ridge on its nose, adding an element of uniqueness to its appearance. Over each eye, there is a distinct visor that adds to the toad's fascinating features. Another striking characteristic of this marine toad is the presence of very large parotid glands, which can be seen clearly in the photograph. These glands play a vital role in secreting toxins as a defense mechanism against predators. The reddish-brown skin with brown speckles gives this amphibian an earthy and natural look. Its underside also displays beautiful brown speckling patterns that add depth and texture to its overall appearance. One interesting observation from this image is the absence of webbing on its front toes, distinguishing it from other species within its family Bufonidae. This adaptation allows for better movement and navigation through various terrains. It is important to note that Marine Toads are giant creatures with cane-like bodies and possess poisonous properties due to their cold-blooded nature. Their distinctive warts contribute further to their unique aesthetic appeal. Geoff Brightling has skillfully captured all these incredible attributes in his photograph, providing viewers with an up-close glimpse into the mesmerizing world of amphibians like never before.
