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 frogsSince 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.
