River Toad (Rough Toad, Giant Asian Toad, Kodok Buduk Sungal, Kodok Puru Besar)
Bufo asper, Syn. Phrynoidis aspera (Bufonidae), is an Asian toad with large and stout body (100-140mm snout-vent length). The skin is covered with warts or tubercles; so the name of this species derives from its rough skin texture.
This species occurs in Brunei Darussalam; Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand. It is consumed for food in Sabah and peninsular Malaysia .
