They all do that. As frogs and toads don't have much of a diaphragm they use their expandable throats for the job.

What is the scientifique name for toads?

Frogs."Toads" are not, scientifically speaking, "a thing". Frogs and toads are together in the order Anura and whether a given animal is commonly called a "toad" or a "frog" has more to do with its appearance and habitat than any real valid taxonomic distinction. (The technical way of putting that is that toads are not a clade, but toads and frogs together are.)Scientifically, a toad is just a frog that happens to have dry, leathery skin and/or live primarily on land.

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.
