What is the Canadian Toad's habitat?
Toads are amphibians that are found in many parts of the world, and their natural habitat can vary depending on the species. However, in general, toads are typically found in moist environments, such as forests, grasslands, deserts, and wetlands.
Toads are adapted to live in a wide variety of habitats and can be found in both terrestrial and aquatic environments. They are often found near bodies of water, such as ponds, lakes, and streams, where they breed and lay their eggs. Toads are also known to burrow in soil or hide in leaf litter to escape the heat or cold.
Toads are known for their ability to survive in a range of environmental conditions, which has allowed them to inhabit diverse habitats across the globe. While they are found in many different habitats, they all require access to water for breeding and maintaining their skin's moisture.
Toads and frogs are related as they are both amphibians of the order Anura. However, they are completely different species from each other. Frogs belong to the family Ranidae while toads belong to the family Bufonidae.
yes, toads eat slugs, worms and insects and are therefore carnivorous.

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 frogs
Since 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.
How fast do cane toads reproduce?
The cane toad female can lay 35,000 eggs at a time and they have become a problem in Hawaii and Australia. The male toads wait for the females and grip the female by the armpits. She releases the eggs and he fertilizes them externally.
Amphibians hear very well. They can even hear the sounds which humans can not.
Where are their ears located?
Looking closely at a frog, one can spot behind the eyes, on the sides of the head, small circles covered with membrane. This membrane is the eardrum. People have it deep inside the acoustic duct; for most of amphibians, it is locate right outside. Sound waves spreading in air or in water cause it to vibrate; the membrane, in turn, transmits the signal through the auditory ossicle to the inner ear, where the auditory receptors are located. From the inner ear, neural impulses are transmitted to the brain where the auditory picture of the environment is formed.
However, not all amphibians have this kind of auditory system.
For instance, limbless amphibians tunneling in wet and warm soil of the tropics have "seismic" hearing and perceive vibration of the ground by the lower jaw; the sound is transmitted to the inner ear by the skull bones. It is the same with some tailed amphibians.
Yes, tomato frogs do make good pets actually i have one myself just make sure that you wash your hands after handling them they can give off very bad tasting mucous when defensive.
How do toads survive the elements?
Toads require at least 3 inches of substrate for burrowing, a shallow dish of water for soaking, a hideout, plant life and live insects. If you go to the pet store the employees can help you purchase the best substrate and supplies, including boxed crickets.

It matters how you define smart. They get there food do they not? They find themselves shelter. They also have quite a personallity, coming frome someone who has had many toads as pets. They have fear just as humans do. As a toad owner i happen to know how to tell the diferennce between feamale and male toads and have found they do not get along. But also two toads of the same gender may be friends or they may have themselves a enemy toad. Even though they are small they are smary anough to have all those feelings just like humans.
