message: It should be noted that a large chunk of this article's text comes from: http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/narcam/idguide/american.htm which is a PD source (U.S. Govt.) -Harmil 02:33, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, good point, and that source mostly just described the subspecies. This article needs to be rewritten as an account for the whole species. --Cotinis 10:52, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Source 

message: FYI:  The mounds behind the cranial crests are the "parotoid" glands, not the "parotid" glands.  The parotid is a human salivary gland.  Thanks for an otherwise great article. Greentick 05:05, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks so much for the correction--that was my error, I believe--too much human physiology in my head--I never noticed the difference. --Cotinis 02:55, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Misspelling 

message: "It eats mainly spiders, live worms and mushrooms."
I don't see a reference citing the mushroom part of the Dwarf American Toad's diet. Maybe it's there, but I just don't see it. I'm skeptical about this, since I've only heard of toads being carnivores and that they need to see a prey item move before they can attack it. --Kryptid 05:09, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Eating Mushrooms?

message: In the main article is says "While the belly is usually spotted, it is generally more so on the forward half", which is correct. But later one, it states "This species can be difficult to identify. It never has a spotted belly and both cranial crests touch the parotoid glands." This last statement is true for Fowler's Toad (Bufo fowleri).

message: There could be more about the early life history.  Are eggs laid in the water? Does it have to be a pond or stream, or can it be a puddle? The toad I saw was a long way from the lake.  Do tadpoles only live in the water? Thanks. SCFulton (talk) 22:58, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
