About This Specimen

Duttaphrynus melanostictus is one of the most widespread and abundant toads in Asia, found from the Indian subcontinent through Southeast Asia to southern China and the Indonesian archipelago. Recognised by its warty skin, prominent black-tipped tubercles, and large parotoid glands, it is a highly adaptable species equally at home in forest, farmland, and urban environments. Presented in a sitting form — replicating the species’ characteristic resting posture with forelimbs braced and hindlimbs folded — this skeleton offers the most naturalistic and display-ready configuration, clearly revealing the bufonid pectoral girdle, robust limb proportions, and fused urostyle with exceptional anatomical precision. A precise and enduring addition to any serious natural history collection or educational display.

Perfect for herpetologists, anatomists, naturalists, natural history collectors, educators, artists, and interior designers seeking authentic specimens with genuine scientific and aesthetic value.
