The difference between frogs and toads are:
Frogs:
- Need to live near water
- Have smooth, moist skin that makes them look “slimy”.
- Have a narrow body
- Have higher, rounder, bulgier eyes
- Have longer hind legs
- Take long high jumps
- Have many predators
Toads:
- Do not need to live near water to survive
- Have rough, dry, bumpy skin
- Have a wider body
- Have lower, football-shaped eyes
- Have shorter, less powerful hind legs
- Will run or take small hops rather than jump
- Do not have many predators. Toad’s skin lets out a bitter taste and smell that burns the eyes and nostrils of its predators, much like a skunk does.
