scaphiopus การใช้

The spadefoot toads ( " Scaphiopus spp . " ) of North America fall into this category.
A similar species is the Hurter's spadefoot toad, which was once considered a subspecies of Scaphiopus holbrookii.
It was once classified as a subspecies of the eastern spadefoot toad ( " Scaphiopus holbrookii " ), but it has been granted its own species status.
The seven species of American spadefoot toads ( genera " Scaphiopus " and " Spea " ) were previously also included into the Pelobatidae family, but are now generally regarded as the separate family Scaphiopodidae.
Some burrowing frogs such as Couch's spadefoot ( " Scaphiopus couchii " ) have a flap-like toe extension on the hind feet, a keratinised tubercle often referred to as a spade, that helps them to burrow.
