What are the differences between frogs and toads?

 Frogs and toads are both amphibians, and they are very similar. There are some differences however. Frogs generally have bulging eyes, strong long webbed hind legs for leaping and jumping, and smooth or slimy skin. Frogs also usually lay their eggs in clusters. Toads, on the other hand, have stubby bodies with short hind legs, and warty and dry skin. Their eyes are less bulging and more football shaped, with poison glands behind them. Toads move in short hops and jumps, and they lay eggs in long chains. However, there is really no hard and fast rule. Toads belong to the frog family, but they are not true frogs. To make things more complicated, it is not uncommon, for example, to find a warty skinned frog that isn’t a toad, or even a slimy toad!
