About Duttaphrynus melanostictus (sitting)

Duttaphrynus melanostictus, the Asian Black-Spined Toad, is one of the most recognisable amphibians across South and Southeast Asia. This specimen is preserved in a natural sitting posture – the characteristic resting stance of the species – capturing its distinctive warty skin texture, prominent parotoid glands, and compact, powerful form in striking detail. A compelling and unusual centrepiece for any serious natural history collection or artistic display.

Perfect for herpetologists, natural history collectors, educators, artists, and interior designers seeking authentic cabinet-of-curiosities aesthetics.
