Explanation: Locked in the amorous embrace of Anuran amplexus was this pair of Berber toads, blocking one of the main paths here in the ANIMA (André Heller) Garden, in Marrakesh, Morocco, North Africa. Berber toad, also known as Mauritanian toad and other names, is found in North Africa in a variety of dry woodland and aquatic environments. The name Berber derives from the widely-distributed ethnic group of peoples of North Africa.
