What is the scientific name of the toad?
That depends on the type of toad. Generally, the scientific name is Bufo. Toad is just the Genus of the name. The format is Bufo (species name.) (Example: An American toad is Bufo americanus. Climbing toads are Bufo coniferous.)
A frog is a what.?
A frog is a amphibian. toads are amphibians too, but most toads that are called toads are really frogs. only 250 of the species bufo are really toads.
What is the scientific name for cane toads?
The scientific name for cane toads is Bufo marinus.
What are the American toads relatives?
There are two species that come to mind that are very similar, and often interbreed. The fowler's toad: Bufo fowleri and the dwarft american toad: Bufo americanus charlesmithi.
How long does it take for cane toad tadpoles to become cane toads?
Cane toads (Bufo marinus) in the wild can live up to ten years. In captivity they can live up to about eight years.
Differences between Bufo sp and Rana sp?
The common toad was first given the name Rana bufo by the Swedish biologist Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of Systema Naturae in 1758.[3] In this work, he placed all the frogs and toads in the single genusRana. It later became apparent that this genus should be subdivided, and in 1768, the Austrian naturalistJosephus Nicolaus Laurenti placed the common toad in the genus Bufo, naming it Bufo bufo.[4][5] The toads in this genus are included in the family Bufonidae, the true toads.[2]Various subspecies of Bufo bufo have been recognized over the years. The Caucasian toad is found in the mountainous regions of the Caucasus and was at one time classified as Bufo bufo verrucosissima. It has a larger genome and differs from Bufo bufo morphologically [6] and is now accepted as Bufo verrucosissimus.[7] The spiny toad was classified as Bufo bufo spinosus. It is found in the Mediterranean area and grows to a larger size and has a spinier skin than its more northern counterparts with which itintergrades.[8] It is now accepted as Bufo spinosus.[9] The Gredos toad, Bufo bufo gredosicola, is restricted to the Sierra de Gredos, a mountain range in central Spain. It has exceptionally large paratoid glands and its colour tends to be blotched rather than uniform.[10] It is now considered to be a synonym of Bufo bufo.[2]Bufo bufo is part of a species complex, a group of closely related species which cannot be clearly demarcated.[1] Several modern species are believed to form an ancient group of related taxafrom preglacial times. These are the spiny toad (Bufo spinosus), the Caucasian toad (Bufo verrucosissimus) and the Japanese common toad (Bufo japonicus). The European common toad (Bufo bufo) seems to have arisen more recently.[6] It is believed that the range of the ancestral form extended into Asia but that isolation between an eastern and western type occurred as a result of greater aridity and desertification in the Middle East during the Middle Miocene.[11] The exact taxonomic relationships between these species remains unclear.[6] A serological investigation into toad populations in Turkey undertaken in 2001 examined the blood serum proteins of Bufo verrucosissimus and Bufo spinosus. It found that the differences between the two were so significant that therefore the former should be synonymized with the latter.[12]A study published in 2012 examined the phylogenetic relationships between the Eurasian and North African species in the Bufo bufo group and indicated a long evolutionary history for the group. Nine to thirteen million years ago, Bufo eichwaldi, a recently described species from south Azerbaijan and Iran, split from the main lineage. Further divisions occurred with Bufo spinosus splitting off about five million years ago when the Pyrenees were being uplifted, an event which isolated the populations in the Iberian Peninsula from those in the rest of Europe. The remaining European lineage split into Bufo bufoand Bufo verrucosissimus less than three million years ago during the Pleistocene.[13]Very occasionally the common toad hybridizes with the natterjack toad (Bufo calamita) or the European green toad (Bufo viridis).[14]
What is the voice of Coastal Plain Toads?
A low-pitched trillis the voice of the Coastal Plains Toad.Specifically, the toad in question (Bufo nebulifer) has an advertisement call which is lower-pitched than the better-known calls of the American (Bufo americanus) and Southern (Bufo terrestris) Toads. Its calls therefore may be confused with the other two when the three overlap during the breeding months of March through June. It should be recognized in its own right during the months of July to September, during which it continues to breed.

Where do toads live?
Toads of genus Bufo live 35 years.
What do baby toads eat and big toads?
No. Horned Toads eat ants mostly, with termites and beetles. They don't eat anything other than insects, so they wouldn't be eating their lizard young.
