Well, frogs and toads do ma!e loud vocal sounds. And most

do begin as tadpoles (though there are a few species that give

birth to live young). owever, only the true frog is a long-legged

jumper. "rue toads have much shorter bac! legs that wor! better

for wal!ing or tiny hops.

"oads are actually a type of frog but with some important differences. First, however,

let#s

list some of the other ways frogs and toads are the same

*. oth are amphibians. "hey begin their lives in water, hatching from jelly-li!e eggs

into

tadpoles. "hen, while living in the water the tadpoles go through a series of body

changes called metamorphosis. "he end result is a frog or toad.

+. oth are ectothermic or 'cold-blooded'. "his doesn#t mean their blood is always

cold. t means that their body temperatures are similar to their surroundings.

. nli!e fish and reptiles, neither frogs nor toads have scales. "hey both have

water-tight s!in.

/. "he adult forms of both animals have no tails. oth begin their lives as tadpoles

with tails for swimming, but the tails disappear as they grow into adulthood.

0. oth have long stic!y tongues that can flic! out fast to catch bugs. "hey

also eat other wiggly and juicy things li!e worms and slugs.

1epending on the si2e and species they might also eat tiny fish and other

small animals

While both frogs and toads may loo! similar to the average

person, those with animal !nowledge and a careful eye for

observation can easily spot the differences.

*. Adult toads live mostly on land while frogs go bac!

and forth from land to water.

+. "oads have much dryer and bumpier s!in. Frogs usually have a moist,

smooth s!in that needs water to !eep from drying out.

. "oads usually have plumper bodies than frogs. Frogs tend to be thinner, allowing

them to glide 3uic!ly through the water.

/. Frogs have webbed feet whereas a toad#s foot has separated toes. "he frog#s

webbed feet, along with their longer legs, ma!e them much better swimmers.

0. Frogs usually lay eggs in clusters and toads usually lay eggs in chains.

4. $ost species of toads do not have teeth. Frogs have tiny teeth in their

upper jaws.

5. "oads have a special parotid gland filled with poison located behind each eye.

When an enemy attac!s a toad, it protects itself by s3uirting the poison.
