Behavior
Oak toads are mostly diurnal and can be found in southern pine forests by turning over logs and other woodland debris. This species is known to spend much of its time burrowed in the loose sands or soil of its habitat.
During the winter, oak toads remain underground in burrows and shallow depressions depending on temperature conditions. They may also hibernate from early December to early March.

“One cannot demand of a scholar that he show himself a scholar everywhere in society, but the whole tenor of his behavior must none the less betray the thinker, he must always be instructive, his way of judging a thing must even in the smallest matters be such that people can see what it will amount to when, quietly and self-collected, he puts this power to scholarly use.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
