It would seem that what is the difference between a toad and a frog? However, many people, even with a solid A in biology, can not always correctly identify the first time, who jumped to their feet. If anything, all toads fall under the category of frogs.
So distinguishing between a simple frog and a challenging frog can be tricky. And if you want to learn how to do it, consider this:
Leather
Frogs and toads have different skin. Frogs have light-colored, moist, and smooth skin, while toads have dry, bumpy, and earthy skin.
Eyes
Toads cannot be hollow-eyed, otherwise they would not be able to live properly on land. Frogs, on the other hand, who need to see well in murky water, have bulgy eyes. In the process of studying frogs, it was found that almost 95% of the data is received in the reflex area of the brain.
This results in the frog simply not being aware of where it is. This is why it may feel as if it has a stupid gaze: in fact, frogs can only perceive moving objects.
Habitat
Now pay attention to the place where you encountered the animal. Frogs need to stay wet at all times, so they are always either sitting in water or nearby. And toads can stay wet longer, and can stay on dry land longer. So in a place where there is no body of water (or it is far away), only a toad can be nearby.
Paws
Another difference is the animal's legs. Since frogs spend most of their lives in water, they have very long legs. Toads, on the other hand, are more rounded and their legs are shorter than their body.
Sounds
Is it possible to determine whether it is a frog or a toad by its croaking? Most often, we hear
frog singing: it is softer and more pleasant. Toads have a much more squeaky and rough voice, which is quite difficult for humans to perceive.
Mode of travel
Since toads have very short legs, they are unlikely to jump. Frogs, on the other hand, are agile creatures. They're hard to catch because they can jump at 20 meters per second. So toads will obviously refuse to compete with frogs.
Hunting
Would you turn your head if you had 360-degree vision? Frogs wouldn't. They're strangers to
yoga, while toads are unlucky enough to have to look at food on the ground. So if a bug meets a frog, it's in trouble: these amphibians have fast reactions, a long sticky tongue and even distinctive teeth.
When encountering a toad, the insect has a better chance of escaping: however, if it gets into the mouth, it will be instantly swallowed: the toad does not need teeth.
