Die Knoblauchkröte (Pelobates fuscus) ist ein Froschlurch und gehört zur Gattung der Europäischen Schaufelfußkröten (Pelobates) innerhalb der Überfamilie der Krötenfrösche. Mit den scharfkantigen, verhornten Auswüchsen an ihren Fußsohlen kann sie sich sehr schnell in lockeren Boden eingraben, wo sie den Tag verbringt. Aufgrund ihrer verborgenen Lebensweise und ihrer zerstreuten Verbreitung ist die Art allgemein nur wenig bekannt. Um auf ihre allgemeine Gefährdung aufmerksam zu machen, wurde sie zum Froschlurch des Jahres 2007 ernannt.
