The Sonoran Desert Toad lives in a place called the Sonoran Desert. This desert is very hot and dry, with lots of sand and cacti. It’s like a big, sandy playground, but without any water. The toad likes to hide under rocks or in the dirt during the day because it’s too hot outside.

The Sonoran Desert Toad is pretty big for a toad. It can be as long as your hand! It has a bumpy skin that helps it stay safe. Its skin is usually a greenish-brown color, which makes it hard to see in the desert. It also has big, round eyes that help it see at night.

This toad is a big eater! It likes to eat bugs, worms, and even small mice. At night, when it’s cooler, the toad comes out to hunt. It uses its sticky tongue to catch its food, just like other toads do.

The Sonoran Desert Toad has something special on its skin. It makes a kind of poison that helps keep it safe from other animals that might want to eat it. This poison is very strong, so it’s important to never touch this toad with your hands.

During the day, the Sonoran Desert Toad likes to sleep. It digs into the dirt or hides under rocks to stay cool and safe. When it’s dark, it wakes up and goes looking for food.

They help control the number of bugs in the desert. They are also part of the desert’s ecosystem, which means they help keep everything in balance. Let's follow the tutorial below to learn how to draw a Sonoran Desert Toad!
