It is one of three rather similar species sometimes referred to as "cururu toads" in Brazil, the others being R. jimi and R. marina (cane toad). Like those, R. diptycha is a large toad, females up to 25 cm (9.8 in) in snout–to–vent length and males up to 18 cm (7.1 in).[3]
Rhinella diptycha is a widespread and very common species that occurs in a variety of habitats but most commonly in open and urban ones. It breeds in permanent and temporary ponds, preferring ones without much vegetation.[1] Its natural habitats include dry savanna, freshwater marshes, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss. It is sometimes kept as a pet,[4] but pet trade is not occurring at levels that would constitute a threat.[1]
