The genus is Bufo and the species is marinus
The botanical name of a toad is Bufo bufo for the common toad found in Europe.
Ursus maritimus (polar bear) and Ursus arctos (brown bear) are more closely related to each other than either is to Bufo americanus (American toad). Both Ursus species belong to the family Ursidae, making them part of the same genus, while Bufo americanus belongs to a completely different family, Bufonidae. This genetic distance reflects the significant evolutionary divergence between mammals and amphibians.
The botanical name for a toad is Bufo bufo for the common toad found in Europe and parts of Asia. The family Bufonidae encompasses over 500 species of toads, each with their own unique scientific name.
The genus name for the koala is Phascolarctos.
It's genus is Xestospongia
Best guess for Cane Toad Scientific name is Bufo marinus.
Rhinella Marina is the taxonomic name. The Scientific name is latin, Bufo marinus
The scientific or taxonomic name would be Bufo marinus.
That depends on the type of toad. Generally, the scientific name is Bufo. Toad is just the Genus of the name. The format is Bufo (species name.) (Example: An American toad is Bufo americanus. Climbing toads are Bufo coniferous.)
The common toad is known as bufo bufo, of the Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Chordata, Class Amphibia, Order Anura, Family Bufonidae, Genus Bufo, Species B. bufo. It is native to all of Europe except Iceland, Ireland, and several islands in the Mediterranean Sea.
The scientific name of the Golden Toad is Bufo Incilius periglenes. That means that it belongs to the genus Bufo, and the subgenus Incilius (A genus is the smallest group above species, and a subgenus is a division of a genus). Therefor, its closest living relative would be a member of the genus Bufo, and the subgenus Incilius. There are 32 surviving members of the subgenus Incilius, therefor any one of these could be the closest living relative of the Golden Toad.
The binomial nomenclature of the common toad is Bufo bufo. This system of naming organisms uses two Latinized names: the first indicates the genus (Bufo), while the second specifies the species (bufo). This standardized naming convention helps ensure clarity and consistency in the identification of species across different languages and regions.
Cane toads (Bufo marinus) in the wild can live up to ten years. In captivity they can live up to about eight years.
Toads are amphibians and there are many species. The full classification is: Domain Eukarya (nucleated organisms) Kingdom Animalia (heterotrophic, multicellular eukaryotes) Phylum Chordata (animals with a notochord) Subphylum Vertebrates (chordates with a true backbone) Class Amphibia (amphibians) Order Anura (frogs and toads) there are about 4000 species in this order There are many genera of toads. A particularly large, well known genus is Bufo.
The common toad was first given the name Rana bufo by the Swedish biologist Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of Systema Naturae in 1758.[3] In this work, he placed all the frogs and toads in the single genusRana. It later became apparent that this genus should be subdivided, and in 1768, the Austrian naturalistJosephus Nicolaus Laurenti placed the common toad in the genus Bufo, naming it Bufo bufo.[4][5] The toads in this genus are included in the family Bufonidae, the true toads.[2]Various subspecies of Bufo bufo have been recognized over the years. The Caucasian toad is found in the mountainous regions of the Caucasus and was at one time classified as Bufo bufo verrucosissima. It has a larger genome and differs from Bufo bufo morphologically [6] and is now accepted as Bufo verrucosissimus.[7] The spiny toad was classified as Bufo bufo spinosus. It is found in the Mediterranean area and grows to a larger size and has a spinier skin than its more northern counterparts with which itintergrades.[8] It is now accepted as Bufo spinosus.[9] The Gredos toad, Bufo bufo gredosicola, is restricted to the Sierra de Gredos, a mountain range in central Spain. It has exceptionally large paratoid glands and its colour tends to be blotched rather than uniform.[10] It is now considered to be a synonym of Bufo bufo.[2]Bufo bufo is part of a species complex, a group of closely related species which cannot be clearly demarcated.[1] Several modern species are believed to form an ancient group of related taxafrom preglacial times. These are the spiny toad (Bufo spinosus), the Caucasian toad (Bufo verrucosissimus) and the Japanese common toad (Bufo japonicus). The European common toad (Bufo bufo) seems to have arisen more recently.[6] It is believed that the range of the ancestral form extended into Asia but that isolation between an eastern and western type occurred as a result of greater aridity and desertification in the Middle East during the Middle Miocene.[11] The exact taxonomic relationships between these species remains unclear.[6] A serological investigation into toad populations in Turkey undertaken in 2001 examined the blood serum proteins of Bufo verrucosissimus and Bufo spinosus. It found that the differences between the two were so significant that therefore the former should be synonymized with the latter.[12]A study published in 2012 examined the phylogenetic relationships between the Eurasian and North African species in the Bufo bufo group and indicated a long evolutionary history for the group. Nine to thirteen million years ago, Bufo eichwaldi, a recently described species from south Azerbaijan and Iran, split from the main lineage. Further divisions occurred with Bufo spinosus splitting off about five million years ago when the Pyrenees were being uplifted, an event which isolated the populations in the Iberian Peninsula from those in the rest of Europe. The remaining European lineage split into Bufo bufoand Bufo verrucosissimus less than three million years ago during the Pleistocene.[13]Very occasionally the common toad hybridizes with the natterjack toad (Bufo calamita) or the European green toad (Bufo viridis).[14]
The biggest toad ever recorded was 1 metre long and 75cm wide. It weighed in at 87Kilograms. It was later disected and was found to have a small dog in its stomach.
The Bufo (toad) is truly cosmopolitan, occurring everywhere around the world except the Arctic, Antarctica, Australia & New Guinea and neighboring islands. The genus comprises about 150 species, and its inherent psychoactive properties were known to the Pre-Columbian Native Americans.
