Duttaphrynus olivaceus is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae.[1][2] It is found in southeastern Iran and western Pakistan. Its presence in Afghanistan and India is doubtful.[1][2] Common names olive toad, Baluchistan coastal toad, Baluchestan coastal toad, and Makran toad have been coined for it.[2]
Duttaphrynus olivaceus occurs in areas where water is available, such as irrigated land, springs, oases, and other types of wetlands at elevations below 700 m (2,300 ft). Breeding takes place in ponds and oases. The surrounding habitat is mostly semi-desert with date palms.[1]
Duttaphrynus olivaceus is an adaptable species that often depends on human-made habitats. It can be locally common. Pollution, habitat alteration, and droughts are localized threats.[1]
