It is a toad. The American toad is the common toad. There is also a common frog. Don't get them mixed up! The same is true in the UK: we have common toads which are toads, and common frogs which are frogs. Confusion begins to arise in the tropics, where iconic species like poison-arrow frogs could really be classed as toads due to their ability to crawl/climb. True frogs always hop.
American toad was created in 1836.
A horny toad is actually a type of lizard, not a toad. They are also known as horned lizards and belong to the Phrynosoma genus.

Americans Toads are very abundant in numbers BUT if we continue to eliminate members of this group by hitting them with cars, stepping on them, or anything else that kills them, they will in deed go extinct. So, please treat all toads and amphibians with the most respect ever given to any animal ever. I have a toad at home so I would know what to do.
Yes, they can successfully breed with healthy tadpoles.
