What is the difference between frogs and toads?
Taxonomy of frogs and toads:Kingdom: AnimaliaSubkingdom: MetazoaPhylum: ChordataSubphylum: VertebrataClass: AmphibiaOrder: AnuraAfter this is family, and that is where frogs and toads split. True toads are all members of the family Bufonidae. True frogs are members of the family Ranidae. There are around 400 species of frogs, and 300 species of toads. There are also several frog species that are called toads in the common name, but if you look up the scientific classification, this reveals that they are indeed frogs. They are just called toads because of their resemblance to toads.Frogs have finer bodies with narrower waists while toads' bodies are broader.When on a flat surface, frogs lie flat, but toads tend to sit upright.Frogs have feet which are specially structured to act as suction caps to enable them to climb trees and other surfaces. Toads are entirely ground-dwelling.Frogs have an amazing variety of colours - green, yellow, orange, red, black and even blue. Toads are duller in appearance.Frogs have long, webbed hind feet: they can jump and leap very far because they have strong back legs, but toads cannot leap very far or jump very high because they have short hind legs. Frogs have longer legs and can jump farther in proportion to body length, while toads have shorter legs and jump less than the frog in proportion to body length. Toads walk instead of hopping.Some frogs have poison glands, but all toads have poison (Paratoid) glands behind their eyes. These glands secrete a poison called bufotoxin, which varies in intensity. Frog do not have paratoid glands, although frogs can have poison through alternate methods.Frogs have slimy, slippery and delicate skin, but toads have drier skin with warts.Frogs' eggs are laid in bunches or clusters, whilst toads' eggs are laid in long strings.Generally, frogs live near water (although there are some desert species which hibernate until rains come). Toads tend to live on land, although near boggy areas.Some frog species are diurnal and some are nocturnal: toads are almost exclusively nocturnal.Frogs have teeth for gripping their food (not chewing). Toads do not have teeth.There are no native toad species in Australia, but there are many native frog species.Frogs have smaller ear drums than toads.Toads have different cartilage in their chest compared to frogs.Frogs jump actively for their food; toads do the "sit-and-wait" strategy.Frogs are found in more places across the earth. Neither frogs nor toads are found in polar regions, but there are also no native toads in the Australasia - Oceania regions, while frog species are prolific.A frog's eyes are positioned higher in its head, while a toad's eyes are positioned lower.A group of frogs is called an army, while a group of toads is called a knot.
Comparison between frogs and toads?
Toads have round bodies that are dry and bumpy. Frogs have thin bodies that are smooth and moist. Toads have short stubby legs that do not jump very far in proportion to body length, while frogs have long legs that jump great distances in proportion to body length. The tadpoles of the toads are generally black, while the tadpoles of frogs are generally brown. Toads live on land and only return to water to mate, while most frogs will live in or near water they're whole lives. Toads have glands behind their eyes called paratoidglands that producebufotoxinwhich varies in intensity, while frogs have no such glands. Toads have "warts" which let them store fat, while frogs don't. Frogs' skin can allow them to get small amounts of oxygen, while the toads' skin cannot do that. Toads hibernate in holes they either dig or find, while frogs will just bury themselves in the mud at the bottom of the pond to hibernate. Frogs have longer legs and can jump farther in proportion to body length, while toads have shorter legs and jump less than the frog in proportion to body lengthToads and frogs also tend to differ when they lay eggs. Toads typically lay eggs in a string in the water. Frogs tend to have theirs in a big bunch.
Whats the differences in the frog's toes of the hind legs and those of the front leg?
The majority of frogs have four toes on their front legs and five toes on their hind legs. Aquatic frogs have long toes that are webbed.
Does a toad resemble a frog?
Technically speaking, toads are frogs. Both are members of the order Anura, a group that experts usually refer to simply as frogs. Within this large group, the name "toad" is given to those with dry, warty skin and short hind legs for walking instead jumping. Meanwhile, those with smooth, moist skin and long, strong, webbed hind legs for swimming and jumping are called frogs. In general, frogs live in moist climates and lay their eggs in clusters, while toads live in drier climates and lay their eggs in long chains. But be warned: drawing the line between frogs and toads can be tricky. For example, there are frogs with warty skin, and toads with slimy skin. Many species fit equally well into both categories.
