Toads like this were found in many while the rocks and stones were broken. Many such tiny creatures were found by the laborers inside the huge stone blocks.
- Toad inside the limestone: During 1865, while the excavators were working with the magnesium limestone blocks at Hartlepool in England, they found some live toad inside the limestone. This stone was taken out from 25 feet below the ground level. This big toad presented an appearance of having been cast and had an unusual brilliant shining eye. This toad was fully vivacious as it was liberated. It even made some sounds while it was being touched; although it had some problem is respiration. On a research made it was found out that the toad’s mouth was fully closed while the noise came through its nostrils. It had its forefeet claws bent inwards and the hind ones were amazingly lengthy than the normal. It was initially discovered with a pale color look but gradually turned to a darker shade and then became completely olive brown later.
