Other than being a cute LD (little dude) with a cool name, Spadefood toads are interesting in that they estivate (read: hibernation but when it's hot) during dry periods, then dig out of the soil when it rains and breed like crazy. They're basically desert toads. The whole family is cool that way -- living where amphibians have no right being.
Time is up, off to Aikido class.
