    Ooh I picked up a nice fat toad I just found in the yard, but it peed on me so I took it around to the front yard and set it loose!

    Wait, what were we talking about?

        Toads are a lot smaller after they pee. I’m thinking theyre about 40% pee at any time? Maybe they just little out a little here and there but they stay strategically topped up.

        Do they hold pee just in case a person picks them up? What other reason do they hold all that pee? Is it if something tries to eat them they pee as a defense mechanism? I don’t assume toad pee would taste good. Seems like a dog would know. Maybe I can ask a dog.

        If you hold a toad with their butt hanging out a little they usually won’t pee on you. If they do, it just shoots onto the ground.
