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.

Very likely
About 80% of wildlife watchers report a Crested Toad sighting in Kubah National Park on a given day, based on 129 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 5th most-seen of the 41 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February–March, June, August and November–December
In those months about 80% of wildlife watchers report a Crested Toad in Kubah National Park on a given day, against about 50% in May and October, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Crested Toad sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Yes
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Crested Toad sightings, Kubah National Park has the highest daily chance: about 80%. Next come Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary (Malaysia, about 20%) and Kinabalu Park (Malaysia, about 10%).
Same family: Bufonidae
The closest relatives of the Crested Toad that you can see in Kubah National Park (family Bufonidae, True Toads) are Spiny Slender Toad (about 50%), Brown Slender Toad (about 40%) and Dwarf Slender Toad (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Crested Toad is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Kubah National Park (129 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.
