What is the difference between a Frog and a Toad?

The answer is that all "Toads" are actually are "Frogs"!

True "Frogs" have the characteristics of:

  • bulging eyes
  • strong, long, webbed hind feet that are adapted for leaping and swimming
  • smooth or slimy skin (generally, frogs tend to like moister environments)
  • Frogs tend to lay eggs in clusters

True "Toads" have the characteristics of:

  • usually have non-bulging eyes
  • stubby bodies with short hind legs (for walking instead of leaping)
  • warty and dry skin (usually preferring dryer climates)
  • paratoid (or poison) glands behind the eyes
  • the chest cartilage of toads is different also
  • Toads tend to lay eggs in long chains. There are some toads—genera Nectophrynoides—is the only amphibian to bear live young!
