Oak toads (Anaxyrusquercicus)

the smallest (and cutest) toad species in North America, oak toads only reach about an inch in length at maturity. They live in open woodlands and scrub habitats with sandy soil along the coastal plain of the southeast US, where they feed mainly on ants and tend to be more day-active than other toad species.

The grayish coloration of these ones in Florida perfectly matched the patches of quartzite sand where they hopped around in broad daylight.
