| The
Fowler's toad is sometimes hard to identify because it has few distinctive
characteristics. They have as few as one wart and as many as seven
in each dorsal spot, and a ground color of light gray or brown,
often with traces of yellow. Fowler's toads have a light stripe
down the middle, and prominent cranial crests. These toads are known
to hybridize with other toad species in some areas, making it difficult
to be sure of a toad's species when attempting identification. Offspring
may possess traits of both parental species'.
