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.
