American yellow-spotted climbing toad (SciiFii)

The American yellow-spotted climbing toad (Rentapia americanus) is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae, most closely related to the Asian yellow-spotted climbing toad (Rentapia hosii), that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. As its name suggests, the American yellow-spotted climbing toad is an arboreal toad and often relies on tall vegetation to sleep during the day, only to climb down at night to hunt. The American yellow-spotted climbing toad is an insectivore that primarily feeds on a wide range of insects and worms. The females of this species are larger and have distinctive yellowish-orange spots, while the smaller males are reddish-brown in color. Like all toads, the females lay eggs, and, unlike the similarly-sized Asian yellow-spotted climbing toad, this species does not require moving water for their tadpoles to survive, being more adaptable to a wider range of underwater habitats. The conservation status of the American yellow-spotted climbing toad is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American yellow-spotted climbing toad's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
