Antithesis of the picky eater, a Sonoran Desert toad savors a tarantula. “Toads and frogs are marvelous because they eat just about anything they can get in their mouths,” says herpetologist Cecil Schwalbe. That includes snakes, bats, birds, bugs, mice, fish, and other frogs. Toads, which lack teeth, swallow their prey whole. The Sonoran Desert toad is famous for producing a hallucinogenic substance on its skin. But psychedelic poachers beware: This toad is also highly toxic.
