When I found this toad, it was in the mouth of a small Garter Snake! The toad was huge compared to the snake. In this case, the toad got away.

Interesting story. A friend saw a garter snake die after it tried to eat a toad. The toad died as well in the snake's mouth. I always wondered if the toxins from the parotid glands killed the snake. Nice series you got!
