Bangkong or frog has the scientific name Bufo melanostictus Schneider. This toad is also known by several other names such as the buduk toad (Btw.), the berut/kerok toad, the kintêl toad (Jw.), the brama toad (Jw., which is reddish), and the Asian black-spined toad (Ingg.). This toad is widespread from India, southern People's Republic of China, Indochina to western Indonesia. In Indonesia, by riding on human movements, these amphibians quickly spread (invaded) from island to island. Now bangkong kolong has also been found in Bali, Lombok, Sulawesi and West Papua. Medium-sized frogs, adults have pot bellies, rough nodules. The length of male Bangkong (from snout to anus) is 55–80 mm, female 65–85 mm. On the top of the head there are continuous, prominent teeth, starting from the top of the snout; passes above, front and back of the eye; to above the tympanum (ear drum). These teeth are usually blackish in color. A pair of large, long parotoid glands (venom glands) are located above the nape of the neck. The back varies in color between dark gray brown, yellowish, reddish, to blackish. There are also those with a brownish yellow or grayish black base color. There are rough nodules on the back with black tips. The underside of the body is greyish white, with rather rough spots. Palms and feet with black or blackish color; without swimming membranes, or feet with very short swimming membranes. Males generally have a dull reddish chin. Bangkong is most often found around the house. Jumping short, this frog comes out of hiding under piles of stones, wood, or in corners of the kitchen at sunset; and return to its original place at dawn. Sometimes, the hiding place is shared by a group of large and small toads; up to 6-7 tails. Bangkong mating in a pond, Sampora, Palabuan Ratu These turtle doves mate in pools, stagnant ditches, orlumbang, often on full moon nights. Male toads make loud calls before and after rain to call females, often until morning. It sounds: rrrk, ..rrrk, or ...oorek-orek-orek-orekk! noisy. At times like that, you can find several pairs to dozens of pairs of jackfruit mating together in one pond. There is also often heavy physical competition between male beetles for females, especially if there are far fewer females. Therefore, the male will hug the female's back tightly during the mating procession. Sometimes it is also found that some turtle doves have died due to injuries caused by the competition; a wound on the muzzle of a male animal, or a wound in the armpit of a female animal. It seems that this frog has a close association with the human environment. From time to time, bangkong kolong continues to expand its distribution area following human activity. Iskandar (1998) noted that this frog never occurs in tropical rainforests.
