FROGS vs. TOADS
Many people don’t know the difference between frogs and toads. They are quite different animals, although they belong to the same animal group.
Frogs:
Need to live near water
Have smooth, moist skin that makes them look “slimy”.
Have a narrow body
Have higher, rounder, bulgier eyes
Have longer hind legs
Take long high jumps
Have many predators
Toads:
Do not need to live near water to survive
Have rough, dry, bumpy skin
Have a wider body
Have lower, football shaped eyes
Have shorter, less powerful hind legs
Will run or take small hops rather than jump
Do not have many predators. Toad’s skin lets out a bitter taste and smell that burns the eyes and nostrils of its predators, much like a skunk does.
And, neither frogs nor toads, will give you warts! That is just a myth.

Cool! Maybe you'll end up being a famous frog scientist. Any idea what that would be called?
I don't know, maybe a Frogologist. haha
Hi Abby. I liked all the frog/toad facts too. I'll have to read it to Daniel.
What kind of shoes do frogs wear?
I don't know?
