I have never seen any fish eat them, nor a heron, or frog or anything else. They seem to move around like a frenzied black swimming mass back and forth in the shallows. But once they get on land only a small percentage survive.
The only thing I have seen eat them is after they have legs and start hopping about the shore line the birds pick them off quite quick.
The other thing is once the coyotes found out we had toads in the spring around out pond they cleaned them right up. We have not had one toad tad pole after the coyotes figured out they were and easy snack.
