Sclerophrys poweri is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is found in extreme southern Angola, northern Namibia, Botswana, southward to central South Africa,[1] and Zambia.[2] The specific name poweri honours John Hyacinth Power, Irish-born director of the McGregor Museum (Kimberley, South Africa) who collected amphibians as well as reptiles and plants.[3]
Sclerophrys poweri inhabits open savanna, wooded savanna, thornveldt, river valleys, and agricultural areas. Breeding takes place in temporary water (vleis, marshes, dams, or pans), and sometimes artificial pools. It is a common and often abundant species that is not facing any significant threats and that is present in many protected areas.[1]
