The Mexican nosy (burrowing) toad __Rhinophrynus dorsalis__, in addition to Mexico, lives in southern Texas, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Its natural environment is the forest floor and underground burrows, which these secretive toads leave after heavy rains to procreate. Mexican nosed toads lay eggs along the shores of shallow reservoirs, in search of which they can cover a distance of more than a kilometer. Nosy toads feed on ants and termites right underground due to the unusual ability to stick their tongue out in front of them, which is unusual for other toads. Scientists consider the Mexican nosed toad to be a unique animal, saying that "over 190 million years of independent evolution, these amphibians have moved so far away from their relatives that the bat, polar bear, kangaroo, sperm whale and man have more similarities than the Mexican nosed toad and other amphibians"
