The Variable Toad (Bufotes sitibundus), is a widespread amphibian found in various habitats across Europe and parts of Asia. Bufotes sitibundus specifically inhabits regions in southeastern Europe.

These toads have typical toad-like characteristics, including a stocky build, warty skin, and a preference for a semi-aquatic lifestyle. They are known for their distinctive call, a prolonged and melodic trill, especially during the breeding season. Like other toads, Bufotes sitibundus plays a vital ecological role by contributing to pest control through the consumption of insects.
