Nile Delta toad
The Nile Delta toad or Damietta toad (''Amietophrynus kassasii'') is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to Egypt where it is found in the Nile Delta as far south as Luxor. Its natural habitats are swamps, freshwater marshes, arable land, urban areas, seasonally flooded agricultural land and canals and ditches.
==Taxonomy==
Between 1909 and 1912, several specimens of a small toad species were collected near Alexandria and were sent to the British Museum where they were identified as ''Bufo vittatus'' (now ''Amietophrynus vittatus''). No further specimens were found. In 1991, a new species of toad was discovered by Baha el Din near Damietta in the Nile Delta which differed in several particulars from ''B. vittatus'', which is otherwise only known from the vicinity of Lake Victoria, and the original identification was called into question. The new species was described in 1993 as ''Bufo kassassii'' and has since been transferred to the genus ''Amietophrynus'' becoming ''Amietophrynus kassasii''.〔
