🐸Colorado River toad
El sapo del desierto sonorense o sapo del río Colorado (Incilius alvarius, antes Bufo alvarius) es una especie de anfibio de la familia Bufonidae. Existe una práctica contemporánea de creciente popularidad del uso neochamánico de la vaporización y fumado de las bufotoxinas que se encuentran en las secreciones de la piel del sapo, llamadas 'veneno del sapo'. Se ha argumentado que la explotación humana de esta especie está contribuyendo a la disminución de su población.
