Rare look into the secret life of our Cuban Small-eared Toad! Like Cuban Toads in the wild, this toad is hardly ever seen and is usually found burrowing in the soil. Watch as a Museum Naturalist feeds our Small-eared Toad a mealworm. Native to Cuba, this toad travelled to Nova Scotia on a commercial flight from the island and now lives in our Nature Lab.
For many years, the feeding time for our live animals has been a popular public program at the Museum. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have not been able to share this special time with our visitors. Until the day we can bring back the feeding program, please enjoy watching our Cuban Small-eared Toad have his lunch!
The Museum of Natural History, in Halifax, is one of the 28 family-friendly museums that are part of the Nova Scotia Museum. At our Museum, you can discover ancient fossils, stunning Mi’kmaq artifacts, live tide pool creatures, Jupiter’s moons, honeybees, Sable Island horses, marine life in The Gully, frogs, snakes, and the famous Gus the Gopher Tortoise.
