Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Michael Cunningham
Comment:   Smooth, pitted, bulbous parotoids. Interrupted interocular and head markings. The glandular tubercles on the hind side of the forearm are a series of separate, low, rounded tubercles (most other large toads have a confluent ridge or conical tubercles). The eyes are unusual in this one.
