Abstract

Examination of the stomach contents of 93 Bufo asper from Templer Park and Batu Caves, Selangor, Malaysia, shows that it feeds upon a wide range of invertebrates. Little or no marked seasonal variation in the diet was found. The relationship between predator and prey size and the interspecific variations in the diet of B. asper, B. melanostictus and other Bufo species are discussed. Copyright © 1970, Wiley Blackwell.
