It depends on the species. Toads generally are bumpy and frogs are wet and moist.

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.


Why do frogs inflate?

toads do that to scare other toads away from their territory.


Why do dogs eat frogs?

Only some will because frogs and toads look appealing and they stir up a hunter's instinct in the canine, although most frogs and toads are poisonous to dogs and other mammals and their skin secretes a very bitter chemical that will make the dog drop the frog almost immediately.


Are toads frogs?

For the longest time, it was thought that the frogs and the toads were two different kinds of animals. All toad-like species were placed in the family of the toads, Bufonidae. This split was based on the following caracteristics:*toads have a warty skin, frogs have a smooth skin*toads have shorter hind legs, frogs longer hindlegs*toads cannot jump or swim as well as frogsSince the 80's we know that these caracteristics are spread through all the frogs and toads. There are frogs with a warty skin that cannot jump so well because of their shorter hind legs (Alytes). There are also toads with smooth skin and longer hindlegs (Atelopus). We call this diversity of caracteristics convergent evolution.Sometimes this change of vison is confusing, because species that were formerly assigned tot the toad-family, are know considered to be a frog, but the name 'toad' is still used in their common name! An example is the famous firebelly toad. This animal is, dispite its name, not a toad, but is considered a toad-like frog.


Are all toads frogs but not all frogs toads?

Yes. Did you ever hear the saying 'All Toads are Frogs, but not all Frogs are Toads? Well, that means that Toads are a kind of Frog, and they aren't different. Even though they may look different, if you think about it, they have the same body shape! So think about that saying again and then think about what I just told you.. see what I mean?
