Two weeks ago I visited Mallorca together with Wouter and a small group of students from my herpetological study group at work. The whole island was already quite dry (see Thomas' report from one month earlier) and exceedingly hot. Nevertheless, we were able to find quite a few of our main targets and not in the least the endemic Majorcan Midwife Toad (Alytes muletensis). Finally I was able to see adults in the wild! It was a great experience for both students and teacher alike!

nice find and a nice specimen

Looks like you had a great trip, wish I could have done that when I was at school, no Green toads?

I wish I had biology teacher like this, we had an olm in formaldehyde in biology class though. Bobby can you show us your setup for these frogs?

This is what this guy calls work
Very nice findings!

Great report and trip! I wish it was possible at my school..
Military haircut and fat power food. Who else can it be?

Fantastic to see students and young people so engaged and interested with the natural world. Great job!

Thanks a lot for the nice replies guys!

Truly the find of the trip. Such a stunning little toad!

It was already incredibly dry on the island so we decided to spend our limited time on more "achievable" goals such as an elusive snake

Those kind of teenagers are very rare indeed, so I felt incredibly lucky and privileged to be able to undertake a trip like this!

Very nice!
