Welcome! general objective: to disseminate mainly terrestrial fauna and flora of the northern Great River, especially an*mals and plants. which I observed during my expeditions, through the biomes of Mata Atlântica and Caatinga of the Potiguar. Anuran amphibian popularly known as a wart-toad, granular toad or small cururu toad, though its scientific name is reaching on average 52.9mm. the origin of the name (granular) is due to the presence of granules in the dorsal region of the body, this presents in the background different shades of brown with some darker spots. while the coloration of the ventral region of the body varies from whitish to cream with black spots, and in males the gular region turns yellow-green in the reproductive season. their venom glands (paratoids) are barely apparent. although presenting these (small) glands, if people do not handle or tighten them there will be no risk of poisoning in contact with mucous, being this important insect predator species as well as other frogs that help maintain the environmental balance, should not be persecuted or killed by the human being. terrestrial species of nocturnal habit that lives in ponds, banks of streams and puddles. it exhibits explosive reproduction, and in a spawn can contain about 900 eggs that are deposited on the surface of water in a gelatinous cord. although water bodies can reproduce throughout the year, but in the rainy season there is an increase in the reproductive rate. feeds on insects like ants and termites, thus collaborating to control the populations of these an*mals. being its distribution restricted to the northeast and part of the southeast of Brazil. during my excursions through the state of the great river of the north, I have already observed this species in the eastern, Potiguar, Potiguar, and Central Potiguar mesoregions, and I believe it also occurs in the Maranhao of the Saints, geane limeira da silva & thamires freitas campos. predation of rhinella granulosa (anura, bufonidae)
