Tree Frog (Eleutherodactylus antillensis)
There are several species of tree frogs in the Virgin Islands. Their calls (mixed with those of insects) provide a musical background to the night, especially after an early evening rain shower. Male frogs call to attract females for mating.
Eggs are deposited in moist, protected areas or small accumulations of standing water in and around plants. In at least one species (the coqui frog), the adult male will help keep the eggs moist and guard them from predators.
Sugarcane Toad (Bufo marinus)
Reaching a body length of up to ten inches and a weight of up to two pounds, the sugarcane toad is one of the largest toads in the world. Native to South and Central America, these toads are now found throughout tropical and sub-tropical regions everywhere sugar has been grown.
They are voracious eaters that feed mainly on insects, but will include a wide range of foods in their diets - eating just about anything that will fit in their mouths.
Other names for the sugarcane toad are giant toad, crapaud and kwappo.
