According to my book (South African Frogs, a complete guide, N.I.Passmore & V.C.Carruthers), Guttural Toads have markings on their snout but Olive Toads do not, that makes it a Guttural Toad! O\/ O\/

We have seen this at waterholes in KNP during december and they are always about 1m above the water surface inside trees or shrubs. What is it?

Think this is frog foam. There is a nice explanation somewhere, yet I can't find it right now. 0:
