Behavior:As with food habits, the behavior of the golden toad is poorly known. One clue to their existence is the shared behavioral and ecological characteristics with Bufo holdridgei. This small toad is distributed in the same area as Bufo periglenes. The two species also exhibit the same reproductive behavior such as intense male behaviors, small clutch size, and large eggs. It has been suggested that these two species exhibit similar phylogenetic history in order to live in the same harsh habitat. Bufo holdridgei were reported to live underground during different seasons. This could be a possible clue to the behavior of the Bufo periglenes (Jacobson, 1991). Food Habits:There are little information regarding this species' food habits since they have been primarily observed during the breeding season and live very secretive lives within the forests. Judging by size, many would agree that they feed on smaller invertebrates (Jacobson, 1991). Economic Importance for Humans: Positive:he golden toad is most important to the scientific world. They give us the opportunity to study rare and beautiful species up close and personal. They also strengthen the scientific community's resolution to find out why amphibians are decreasing globally.    SOurce: animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu  CREATELINKTOWARDSTHISARTICLE PREVIEWQUOTE
