Colorado River Toad. The Colorado River toad (Bufo=Incilius alvarius) is a large mainly terrestrial toad ranging in length from 4.3 to 7.4 inches (110 to 187 mm). It has leathery skin that ranges in color from olive brown to black with a few, low rounded bumps and enlarged glands on the back of the limbs.
Baroque came to English from a French word meaning irregularly shaped.. At first, the word in French was used mostly to refer to pearls. Eventually, it came to describe an extravagant style of art characterized by curving lines, gilt, and gold.
Something baroque is overly ornate, like a paisley red velvet jacket with tassels, or music that has a lot going on and might include a harpsichord. Anything with a complicated design can be baroque but it also refers to a style of art, music, and architecture from 17th Century Italy (and is then sometimes capitalized). Although it has roots in the Portuguese word barroco meaning imperfect pearl not everything baroque is imperfect.
