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.

Famous quotes containing the word behavior:
“Reading about ethics is about as likely to improve one’s behavior as reading about sports is to make one into an athlete.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“... two men could be just alike in all their dispositions to verbal behavior under all possible sensory stimulations, and yet the meanings or ideas expressed in their identically triggered and identically sounding utterances could diverge radically, for the two men, in a wide range of cases.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“He is not a true man of science who does not bring some sympathy to his studies, and expect to learn something by behavior as well as by application. It is childish to rest in the discovery of mere coincidences, or of partial and extraneous laws. The study of geometry is a petty and idle exercise of the mind, if it is applied to no larger system than the starry one.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
