The Crucifix Toad, also known as the Holy Cross Toad, can be found though out New South Wales in Australia and the southern parts of Queensland also in Australia. It likes to dig down into the grey soil and it tends to only come out after it has rained. It is a yellow toad that has red and black spots on its back, the skin on its stomach is white and smooth and grows up to 55 millimetres in length. When Crucifix Toads reproduce it happens after a heavy Summer rain, then the male calls out to the female and they reproduce while floating in the water. And then the eggs are laid on the top of the waters surface. The Tadpoles are a dark grey colour. Now days there are about 50000 adult Crucifix Toads left because of humans with their tourism. And also dirty water and the quality of it.
