A Lizard & a Frog at Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum

I wish I had noted down the common names, I feel bad just calling them "A lizard and a frog". Both photos taken with the Tamron 28-75mm.

Actually, it should be "salamander and a toad". But don't feel bad, they'll probably never hear about this.

Well, I hate to break it to you, but I believe your Lizzard is a salamander, and your frog is a toad, but you were pretty close.

One thing I would suggest, while you are learning, is to take a shot of the display information after you take your shot. Then you will have all the info right there with the pic to learn from.

Your toad looks very much like a Natterjack to me, but they aren't native to that side of the big pond. Does the museum exhibit critters from around the world, or just those local to that area?

Thanks for the suggestion, I will do that next time.

Just local ones as far as I remember.
