crapaud-z�bre de l'H�rault
Selected
Herault striped toad/striped toad indigenous to the Herault region of France
Zero hits for "zebra toad", Herault or otherwise. A fair number for "striped toad" however.

Comment: "Thanks, I think the idea is to give an example of an initiative, I don't think it is vital to put the exaxt species so this helps."

Michele Fauble
: This could be what is meant, as it is the object of conservation efforts in the region, but the common name in French is ' Pélobate cultripède'.

A literal translation is the best option if the specific species cannot be determined.

French term (edited):
crapaud-z�bre de l'H�rault
banded toad
would fit standard faunistic nomenclature, but the two banded toads I've found on Internet, Benedetto and Damien, live in Asia, not l'Hérault.

Tsk tisk, whatever was I thinking: that should read :
Bufo vittatus (Banded Toad, Degen\'s Toad) and
Bufo latastii (Ladakh Toad, Lataste\'s Toad, Vertebral-banded Toad).

Natterjack Toad or Western Spadefoot or European Painted Frog
The "crapaud-zèbre de l'Hérault" does not exist
so two solutions:
- either it is a made up species than "Hérault Zebra toad" is fine
-either is a weird name for a rare species of toad found in the Hérault there are only 3 "notable" species of toad in the county:
-Natterjack Toad (Bufo calamita) which has a yellow stripe down the back;
-Western Spadefoot (Pelobates cultripes) which more mottled than stripped;
- European painted Frog (Discoglossus pictus) which a frog like toad with camouflage type markings.
