I discovered this toad in our garden (Arnhem) today. It is in a 40 liter container with water and some plants. I can’t seem to find what species it is. The animal is quite red and I think its skin looks a bit like a strawberry because of the small dots on it.

Answer
Hi Miriam,
It is not a toad, but a brown frog (Rana temporaria).
