Hi,

 

Anyone know what type this is ? I was checking online but couldn't match it up with anything except maybe a Cricket Frog. Any advice would be greatly appreciated !! (BTW this is in centralish N.J.)

 

Thanks !!

 

 

 

Looks like just a baby toad they are all over here in WNY

It is deffinitely a toad, head shape, skin, and the glands on the head are all toad features.

There are only 3 toads listed for Jersey....Coloring looks closest to a Eastern Spadefoot in my non-professional opinion.

Wow, awesome. You know, I automatically assumed it was a frog. Live and learn !!

 

Thank you

Looks like a Fowlers Toad to me.

We have those around here.  Don't know what they are called though.

Id say a toad..

 

I've heard frogs legs are delicious and taste like chicken.  Never had the opportunity to try them for myself though.  Looks like they got a lot of good meat on em'.

toad...when they spawn or whatever they do lol here you can walk down the sidewalk and grab hundreds of dime sized ones...i throw them in lake or canal sometimes and the bass eat them

Of all the animals that people tell you taste like chicken, I've found that frog legs truly do taste pretty much just like chicken. They're usually a little bit more greasy, and the texture is slightly flakey, almost like fish, but not quite. They are quite yummy. I do suggest trying them if you have the opportunity.
