This baby Fowler's toad is not much bigger than a thumbnail.
We found it on the beach while out with turtle researchers in Rondeau Provincial Park.

According to the Royal Ontario Museum: Fowler's Toad is a medium-sized toad which lives on sandy beaches and breeds in marshy shallows of lakes or permanent ponds. In Ontario, individuals are gray with a few dark blotches; elsewhere, the toads are brown.
They are classed as endangered in Canada.

Sam seemed quite upset over the blow to feline superiority.
