The poisonous glands of toads, known as parotoid glands, are typically located behind their eyes on the back of their heads. These glands produce toxic secretions that serve as a defense mechanism against predators. When threatened, toads can release these toxins, which can cause irritation or harm to potential attackers. The specific composition of the toxins can vary among different toad species.
