What is the different between a horned toad an a toad?

Answer 1

a bull frog is slightly bigger than a frog and bullfrogs have teeth unlike normal frogs

Answer 2

Well, there's a story called "the frog and the toad", and it shows us that Toads get sad when they don't receive letters. Snails live near ponds and in the story the snail took four days to arrive, so the toad must live pretty far away...

Answer 3

Toads have round bodies that are dry and bumpy. Frogs have thin bodies that are smooth and moist. Toads have short stubby legs that do not jump very far in proportion to body length, while frogs have long legs that jump great distances in proportion to body length. The tadpoles of the toads are generally black, while the tadpoles of frogs are generally brown. Toads live on land and only return to water to mate, while most frogs will live in or near water they're whole lives. Toads have glands behind their eyes called paratoid glands that produce bufotoxin which varies in intensity, while frogs have no such glands. Toads have "warts" which let them store fat, while frogs don't. Frogs' skin can allow them to get small amounts of oxygen, while the toads' skin cannot do that. Toads hibernate in holes they either dig or find, while frogs will just bury themselves in the mud at the bottom of the pond to hibernate.

Answer 4

Frogs

[Frog]

Generally speaking, though, when we think of frogs, we generally picture what are called "True Frogs"....

members of the family Ranidae, containing more than 400 species.

These frogs have the characteristics of:

two 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.

Frogs from this family can be found on every continent except Antarctica. They are referred to as the "true frogs" because of their generalized body form and life history: the so-called generic frog.

Members of this family include the bullfrog, common frog, green frog, leopard frog, marsh frog, pickerel frog, and wood frog.

Toads

[Toad]

The term toads tends to refer to "True Toads"....

members of the family Bufonidae, containing more than 300 species.

These types of frogs have are characterized by:

stubby bodies with short hind legs (for walking instead of hopping)

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), however, that are the only types of anurans to bear live young!)

True Toads can be found worldwide except in Australasia, polar regions, Madagascar, and Polynesia, though Bufo marinus has been artificially introduced into Australia and some South Pacific islands.

Besides Bufo, the family includes 25 genera, all of which, like the frogs, are anura!

Answer 5

Answer 6

A horned toad is actually a lizard, not a toad. It is called a horned toad because of how similar it can look to a toad.

Answer 7

Bullfrogs are amphibious. They need to live near water. Their body is narrower than that of a toad, and their skin is smooth and moist. Toads, however, are wider with rough, dry skin.
