The African Green Toad is primarily found in North Africa. Its range extends from Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia to parts of Libya and the northwestern region of Egypt. The species is well-adapted to various habitats, including dry savannas, semi-deserts, and coastal areas. They are often found near temporary water sources, such as seasonal ponds and rainwater pools, which are essential for their reproduction.
The African Green Toad is mainly nocturnal, meaning it hides during the day and hunts for food at night. They primarily feed on insects and other small invertebrates. These toads are well-suited to dry conditions and can survive long periods without water by burrowing into moist soil. During the breeding season, which often coincides with rain showers, they gather in large numbers around temporary water bodies to reproduce.
