Hi Jack,

If you get no joy here - post it on the General Discussion board, as someone may know there!

Sorry I can't help identify it for you! Good luck!

Hi Jack...

Waiting on confirmation but I think these are Bufo mauritanicus Mauritian or Morocco Toad...

The big trouble is that there are three species of toad from Morocco that all look very similar in the dorsal view.
