Yellow Swamp Toad

Material. HILLWOOD FARM: BMNH 2018.5723; LUKWAKWA: BMNH 2018.5715–22 ( Fig. 3E View Fig ). Comments: One male was found in a pond at night and eight individuals were found in dambo near the Cryptosepalum forest. About six males were calling during the day and two couples were observed in amplexus. The species exhibits dynamic sexual dichromatism, where males undergo a temporary color change (from dark green to bright yellow), depending on the breeding period; females are reddish, especially the parotid glands ( Bittencourt-Silva 2014; Conradie and Bills 2017).
