Incilius cristatus (formerly Bufo cristatus), the large-crested toad, is an endangered species of true toad that is endemic to cloud forests in the central Sierra Madre Oriental in Puebla and Veracruz, Mexico.[1][2] Once feared extinct, it has recently been rediscovered at two sites in Puebla where it is uncommon.[1] The reasons for its decline are habitat loss and pollution, and there are no recent records from Veracruz.[1]
