<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThe Veragua stubfoot toad is a small, slender toad. It has a lime green colored body, covered in black or brown markings. An \u2018X\u2019 pattern typically forms behind the frog’s head made up of these markings. It has small wart-like ridges going down the side of its body. The underside of the toad is a tan color, excluding the feet, which are a much darker brown color. The fingers of the toad are unlike many other species of toad, as they are not heavily webbed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This species is myrmecophilous, meaning it primarily consumes ants and other small insects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not much is known about the behavior of these toads, as they were suspected to be extinct up until 2003, when a small population of them was found. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main threat to these toads is chytridiomycosis, a type of disease contracted from a fungus known as \u2018Batrachochytrium Dendrobatidis\u2019. This species is considered to be critically endangered at this time, and it is unknown how many are left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
