Ingerophrynus divergens is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is found in Malay Peninsula (Thailand, presumably Malaysia), Borneo (Brunei, Indonesia, and Malaysia), Sumatra, and Natuna Islands. It occurs in well-drained lowland rainforests. It breeds in standing water and slow-moving intermittent streams. It is widespread in suitable habitat but not abundant. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by clear-cutting.
This toad species is known to be a possible host for various helminths, including Seuratascaris numidica and Pseudoacanthocephalus bufonis. Both of which are novel appearances of these parasitic organisms in I. divergens. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Crested Toad sighting in Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 9th most-seen of the 20 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Crested Toad sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Crested Toad sightings, Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Kinabalu Park (Malaysia, about 10%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Crested Toad is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary (19 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
