The spadefoot toad's life span is five to twelve years, which makes reproduction hard. Some spadefoot toads die because of predators, ponds drying out or other toads, but most of them are mortally affected by human activities. "Land development
can impact breeding and hibernation habitat, and
traffic on roads near breeding pools can kill migrating
toads." As a result, the spadefoot toad is listed as a threatened species in Massachusetts. So, who said it was easy being a toad?
