Houston Toad Magnet from Zazzle

In Texas, Bastrop State Park was mostly destroyed by fire, as reported by Examiner Eric Duncan - read on Examiner..com. Here's an excerpt:
'Bastrop State Park is also a primary habitat of the Houston Toad, with 2,000 toads living in Bastrop County, in an area known as the Lost Pines area. “It looks like they have lost most of their habitat,” Cox stated, “Biologists will be doing an assessment” of the toad’s demise. The Lost Pines area makes up 124,000 acres and is the primary habitat to the largest known population of the toad.'
