Somebody, a member on my forum wrote that on the 24th of december 2011.... (google translate)
But this year they mate (Bufo bufo) it since late November, and it comes
to be the last week the births of toad tadpoles and this
against all logic, the bulk of winter still to come.
Whats happend ???
amphibians can reproduce at any time of the year, after a period of drought followed by heavy rains, including in winter? I know that the reproduction is not tied to a timetable but to conditions of temperature, humidity and light ...
I have seen sometimes some
Podarcis,
Alytes,
Bufo and
Ichtyosaura in sweet weather in december but never heard about mating !!!
