- Common Toads are a toad species found throughout the UK. Watch the complete Common Toad guide to learn all about these beautiful toads and where to find them. Whilst on location at Totternhoe Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve, I encounter one of Britains common amphibians. The Common Toad. In this video, I give you facts, footage and more about this intriguing animal.
All footage taken by Leo R.

Yay another video on location! This intro has to be one of my favourites so far... the footage, editing and music... so much fun! Didn't realise they can eat slow worms! Great slo-mo footage of them pushing off! Thanks for sharing another great video Leo! 💚
Thanks so much Shelby, that makes me happy :) I'm so glad you enjoyed, I'm hoping to get out and film some more On Location videos at Richmond Park now that I'm back in London, and I'll be sure to get around to recording for the collab when I find time. So excited for all these projects!!
Natural World Facts Richmond Park is amazing, I’d bring your bike to cycle about as I didn’t realise it was so massive! 😅 No worries, it’s all good 💚🤙
Been going here since I was a kid, definitely my favourite part of the whole city. I’m on a bus now heading there, no bike though, I’m looking to go off the beaten path 😉
Natural World Facts ‘atta boy! Have an amazing time! Can’t wait to see what you find! 🤙
Thanks Shelby :D cant wait to share!! 💛
I love toads so much! This was such a nice chill video about the little friends
Thanks Alice!! Toads are gorgeous, I’m glad you enjoyed 😊
Excellent info as usual. Worth adding that it's advisable to wet your hands before handling amphibians to lessen the impact of your skin acid on them 👍😊👍
Thanks, and good advice. Wish id known that when making the video, thanks for making me aware of it :) hope you enjoyed.
We catch them all the time when we were kids and my hands are perfectly fine😄
@@Jimmy_Wei It's the amphibian that gets harmed by the acid from the human.
@@marthacunningham2028 Just realised that😄
@@marthacunningham2028 is this the same case for newts and salamanders ? Here in France I'm used to handle these little guys sometime. 🤲🐸🦎
Great video, I've just had my backyard cleared of junk and a toad emerged! That explains why I'd not had many slugs recently! Good old toads!
I love your channel, what you’re doing is amazing! Please never stop! Thankyou💕💕💕💕
Now let's wait for him to found Uncommon , Rare , Super rare , Uber rare , Legendary and Mythical Toad!
That toad is so chill, not much in my area they all freak out as much as I can 🤣
This explains everything. Last summer I walk home from work at night on a foresty path near where i used to go to school. I sometimes would see movement near the floor and on a few occasions found toads. Never knew I was in the right place + right time (and season)
That was completely brilliant, thank you so much for a v informative video (I love toads even more now)
Been watching your vids for a while now. Had no idea how young you are. Keep the vids coming plz.
I've just made a wildlife pond in my garden and can' t wait for the little critters to arrive in the spring!
They are so cute and beautiful! I love them so much ❤
Nice footage by the way
0:14 best intro ever!
sick evil organ music with toad montage
0:26 - 0:35 he was on beat too
Awesome! I’ve got about 8 in my backyard. Holy cow can they croak loud!! 😁. I love frogs. They’re pretty cool
For some reason, i have just been laughing about toads all day. Maybe it is the fact that the one from Wind In The Willows is really funny.
My dad just lifted up a slab outside and there was a toad there. It came into the house and i couldn't stop laughing, i couldn't even breathe and i was literally crying. I thought I was going to die of laughter.
@ 3.03 - what a splendid toad!!! 😁😁😁
For this beautiful unique wildlife I'm now more concerned about the boiling summers - please build habitats for these creatures in your garden if you can, in the shade with plenty of access to moisture. Great video, keep it up, you have an affinity with wild life. Most of those would normally panic if they sensed a han
It’d be cool if you could do an episode on the sand lizard. Plus it could maybe even bring some awareness to the quickly decreasing sand dunes which the sand lizards are completely dependent on.
GREAT VIDEO! I FOUND ONE OF THESE TOADS IN MY BACKYARD THE OTHER DAY, HE HAD BURROWED DOWN IN THE SHALLOW GRASS AND MADE A NOOK ALMOST PICKED HIM UP WITH THE DOGS POOPPER-SCOOPER HAHAHA.
Aww thats awesome :D
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

A Toad 🐸 and not a ''Turd'' 💩 ! {I uncovered a toad today, hence looking them up..I didn't realise they dig themselves down into soft peat.}
Interesting document. Thank you so much!! I'm in Madagascar, and we have new incursion of Duttaphrynus melanostictus.
Hi My Friend! Great video! Like #9
Thanks friend :)
Very good :)
Awesome video, toads are so fascinating!! Would you like to do a collab because I also love making videos like this
I'd love to! I checked out your content and subscribed, your presenting voice is brilliant. I'd love to have you feature in a video. If you have an email, get in touch (lr.naturecontrol@gmail.com) and we can discuss it further :)

Yay alright!!

I got my mum to send something on gmail’s cause j don’t have one, hopefully it worked
Ooo, great! I’ll check now
WOW i love it WOW
Great video. Really well put together. Must’ve taken a fair bit of effort…..but all worth it.
Toads are wicked cool
I dive a HGV around Gloucestershire and Herefordshire at night and constantly have to stop to clear Toads off the roads. Last week I had to remove a load of mating Toads from the roads, I think Toads are great
Always loved Taods and used to breed them and reintroduce them to parts of west London.
Marked by optimism, may your smile never fade.
We have them in Greece as well. They come out in late Winter or early Spring to breed in the water, and in some southern areas they may be out from December. The competition is harsh. They make a very low bullfrog like call and everything that seems like the female, including hands, may be grabbed.
Using this as a way to get over my fear and this works thank you
I love Toads, but I was digging in soft peat today and unearthed one, he made me jump!
I think he was more scared than me, but I covered him back up.
I just found your channel. This was a great video thanks! I enjoyed the video footage and the way you narrated with great information about the toads! Are toads common where you live?
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that. I live in London so toads can be few and far between, but there are a few parks where they’re everywhere, like Richmond Park! And head just half an hour out of the city (like I did for this film) and they’re so abundant... under every log, hopping along every lane at night. It’s incredible! Are there many near you?
@@NaturalWorldFacts I grew up in East Sheen, and used to go hunting for toad spawn in Richmond park {1970's} to put in parent's pond... I introduced Toads to the garden, {We had a new pond built} and they are still there ..decades later.
Mum downsized, and I just hope the new people who bought the house kept the pond.
She still lives in East Sheen, even closer to the Park, and still has a pond with newts ,toads and frogs.
It's a lovely part of London.
@@NaturalWorldFacts We used to go to a place called 'Newdigate' {1980's} which was a lovely abandoned brickwork with lakes and so much wildlife.
Where I work there’s a pond up the hill and at breeding time there are loads of them and they get everywhere. Often see piles ups of them all grabbing for the same female. They’re not too bright and lay eggs in deep puddles that often dry up in the sun.
I had no idea toads ate slugs. With the number of slugs on my sidewalks and grass I should be up to my ankles in toads! I wish I had more. Although the one or two I've seen look rather well fed! Thank you for this intro.
Nice toad ,)
Your voice is amazing
Yeah I do love toads
Another excellent video from this guy 👍 putting alot of adults to shame 😀 very informative 👍 🌟
Thanks for educating us all 🧠
Thank you so much 😀 That’s really kind of you, your support means a lot. Great having you here!
My pleasure! 😀 Look fwd to seeing more 👍 ps here's 2 of our frog family flic.kr/p/2jBmfMZ flic.kr/p/2jB3oWT#&d
That's a gorgeous photograph!!
@@NaturalWorldFacts Thanks, there's a slightly better one of him getting out that I've yet to post (it's on my Twitter) + little Freddo the Froglet (frog in the log lol) flic.kr/p/2jB3oWT
Do you still use Twitter? I sent you a post on there about slug eggs
Slugs are out tonight. Usually I deal with them myself, but I saw a big toad. Assuming he'll take care of it and protect my plants.
They're absolute bros. I love to catch and pet them.
"Today, I'm here looking for the common toad.." WHY AM I LAUGHING SO HARD AT THAT???
The toad just x games jumping off everything 😂😂
I've just had to rescue one of these guys with a broken leg so yknow now I'm obsessively researching them to try to help the little guy!
I hope it’s okay!! Let me know if there’s any other advice you need, I’d be more than happy to help :) I love these little guys.
@@NaturalWorldFacts I love them too, really any recommendations to have in a temporary set up would be great! Can't access much because of lockdown
Any large plastic or glass enclosure with ventilation would be ideal! If you want a proper enclosure, buy an exoterra faunarium online as it’s portable, cheap but very good for temporarily housing an amphibian. Make sure it has some digging medium - loose soil - and a bowl of water (preferably distilled or from rainwater). Then add some large bits of wood to provide shelter, and feed it any insects you can find, they’re certainly not fussy :) You might need to pick out the poop every now and then.
I really hope this helps. As long as it has shelter, ventilation, food and water, it should have all it needs to survive and get better. How bad are the injuries?
Here’s the faunarium I mentioned: Exo Terra Flat Faunarium Large www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0002AR48Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_N89SAT2JQVV1QG9FD36F?psc=1
@@NaturalWorldFacts thank you! I mean the leg certainly doesn't look great, but it also looks like it could have already healed deformed, I'm going to keep him for a few more days and then cal the sspca (vets advice) and see what they say
That’s a good idea. If its able to eat, then that’s the best sign that it has a chance of surviving :)
Often amphibians with severe damage ‘give up’ by neglecting to eat, so hopefully that doesn’t happen!
dude he's so handsome and smart ?!!❤❤❤❤
Do you mean me or the toad? 👀🐸
@@NaturalWorldFacts you
Great video but missed out how long they live ? Up to fifty years !What predators they have owls,foxes,grass snakes and others
Even large toads have been known to eat them! It’s crazy
When you say common toad i think about Pokémon every time
Hahaha, love that!
0:21 that blink is painful to watch
Sometimes I forget other countries actually like toads
Where are you from, and what sort of toads are they? 😃
I'm interested in toads now
Fun fact - The difference between male and female toads and frogs can be seen on their arms - males have Poppeye arms, whereas female arms are lean and straight. You found a female at the begging.
All glory to the Hypnotoad!
I have one living in my garden ☺️
weh riy Good
Where I live these fellows are all over the place, and brazenly come onto sidewalks and roads.

I think I want to be this guy
Me or the toad? 😆
@@NaturalWorldFacts of course you are! 😂
Why did I find one of these in the U.S

I love my toads in my food forest. I keep an eye out for invasive cane toads but luckily I don't find any. I do find Cuban tree frogs though and I kill them cuz they will eat my toads and lizards.
Florida BTW
No reference to the fact that they pose a danger to domestic pets with the ability to kill even a large dog very quickly
I’m not aware of this at all..! Are you sure you’re thinking of this species?
@@NaturalWorldFacts Yes, common toads. They can kill a dog within 30 minutes with their toxins which can trigger cardiac arrest. One of the biggest problems is raising public awareness to reduce the number of dogs from being killed by common toads. We sadly witnessed a wild hare being killed by a common toad in our garden when the hare fell over to its side and started fitting. A truly horrendous way to die.
Can they kill humans too? How come this guy didnt die when picking up the toad @ImpartiallySpeaking

Last I heard toads are super racist....big difference from frogs who aren't racist. You should delete this video.
