Poyntonophrynus grandisonae

Poyntonophrynus grandisonae (common name: Grandison's toad or Mossamedes toad) is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to Namibe Province, Angola.[1][2] Its range may be more widespread than currently known, including the nearby Iona National Park. It is only known from a few specimens because there has not been much research in the surrounding area, and thus its 2014 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species assessment remained at "Data Deficient".[1]

gollark: Anyway, see, 6_4 often finds exploits in potatOS, then discloses them a while afterward in obfuscated form.
gollark: Cool people.
gollark: https://pastebin.com/RM13UGFa line 1350.
gollark: You can read the code. PotatOS is almost fully open source.
gollark: 6_4 won't share them with me so they remain unpatched until I can somehow trace out the problem amongst the thousands of lines of code in potatOS.
