Bufo torrenticola Toad Walking

This is a Japanese stream toad (Bufo torrenticola) walking beside a mountain stream. Although they can hop, toads often use their sturdy legs to walk. This male was making its way down to a river where others of its kind gather for a few days each year to spawn. Photographed in Mie Prefecture, Japan.
