A group of toads is called a knot because of the way they cluster together, especially during breeding season, when multiple males gather around a single female in what looks like a tangled pile of bodies. From a distance, the mass can resemble a knotted bundle of warty backs and intertwined limbs. To get your Knot to Toads merchandise, head over to specieslimited.com.

That’s a great shot, Sean!
Thanks Sue. Captured just outside of the city center in Toronto.
“A Knot of Toads”, I like that group name.
Not quite as cute as frogs but I like these guys!
More character though. Thanks Mo.
