The Sonoran Desert toad is toxic. Lick them and you might get hallucinations. Eat them (as some dogs have apparently tried) and you might die.

I wonder if there is an antidote. I wonder if there is an antidote for the toad – not to be unkind but if I looked like that I might need an antidote everytime I looked in the mirror.

Maybe the hallucinations explain the story about a frog turning into a prince when kissed?

Quite possibly. It was in the Frankfurt Zoo and I was there with an excited child who didn’t want to watch a toad or possibly two who didn’t move.

Well, nature made that toad so ugly that predators and people might be repelled enough by its appearance to steer clear.
