Description
The spiny toad, spiny common toad, or giant toad is a species of toad native to the Iberian Peninsula, southern France, extreme northwestern Italy, and North Africa, with an isolated population in Jersey in the Channel Islands. For much of the 20th century, it was considered either a synonym or a subspecies of common toad Bufo bufo, but it is now classified as a separate species.
