Rhinophrynus dorsalis is the only surviving member of a family of amphibians that once had a distribution throughout North America and contained many more species 30 million years ago. Today the sole species in this family occurs from South Texas down into Costa Rica. They reside deep in the ground and only emerge after heavy rains. Their call is a very bizarre and distinct sound.

Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't is one of the best YouTube channels I've ever seen. Joey Santore is whip smart and hilarious
