toads

many people make the distinction between toads and frogs based solely on their appearance. because toads burrow and inhabit dry environments they have drier, leatherier skin for better water retention and camouflage. since the distinctions between frogs and toads are only skin deep and a result of environment they offer no reliable guidance to what other species they have evolved from.



almost every toad belonging to the BUFONIDAE family have two lumps on the the sides of the back of their heads.

a toad also has glands that contain poison that is released and "oozes" out when the toad is stressed out.

i think it's very funny to think about a stressed out toad. i would like to thank wikipedia for the above information on toads.
