Central American Gulf Coast Toad with Prominent Cranial Crests on Forest Floor

An overhead, close-up photograph captures a Central American Gulf Coast toad sitting quietly on the damp forest floor. The toad is heavily textured, featuring prominent, bony cranial crests that run along the top of its head, surrounding its golden-brown eye. Its dark greyish-blue skin is covered in small, bumpy tubercles, with a light stripe faintly visible running down its snout. The shallow depth of field leaves the lower body and the surrounding wet mud and decayed leaf litter completely blurred, drawing focus to the rigid structure of its head.
