Hello,

have you ever seen something like this?

Pictures taken by Kohl Ingrid, Jordan, March 22nd, 2005.

These are Bufo (Pseudepidalea) variabilis (viridis) toadlets

I think it's simply a way to retain moisture: Photos depict it all just metemorfosati animals that can not remain in high water, culminating in the countryside, whose path is blocked by the strong heat
