Rhinella sclerocephala is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to the Sierra de San Luis in the Falcón state, Venezuela.[1][2] Its natural habitats are cloud forests at elevations of 1,150–1,500 m (3,770–4,920 ft) asl. Its habitat is under strong pressure from agriculture and livestock farming, even within the Juan Crisóstomo Falcón National Park.[1]
