toads do not have lungs,but they do breathe underwater. their skin absorbs the water which brings the oxygen into their bodies to help them breathe easily underwater.

CORRECTION:

Toads do in fact have lungs. Unlike many frogs, toads have dry skin but when in water they are still able to exchange gases through their skin in its moist state. Nevertheless, toads do have lungs, and draw air into their mouths and using their jaw muscles, force the air down into their lungs using positive pressure. It all depends on the species of toad, but both mechanisms for gas inhalation supplement each other.
