==Distribution and habitat==
Surinam toads live in waters which are oxygen-poor, murky, muddy, or polluted; the waters also have some leaf debris from trees, allowing the toads to camouflage themselves on the bottom while waiting for their prey, which is small fish or underwater insects.  Although living their entire lives in the water, they must come to the surface to breathe.

The toads are found in [[Peru]], [[Brazil]], [[Venezuela]], and the Guianas, inhabiting the entire drainage area of the Amazon river.
