Which of these animals is a frog? Which one is a toad? Do you know?
Marsh frog
A frog has wet, slimy skin. It needs to live close to water.
European toad
A toad has drier, bumpy skin. The skin keeps water inside the toad's body. That is why toads can live farther from water than frogs.
European tree frog
A frog has long, strong back legs. They are perfect for jumping and swimming.
American toad
A toad has short back legs. Toads walk or take small hops.
Green tree frog
A frog has a long, thin body. This shape helps a frog make long leaps to get away from predators.
Southern toad
A toad has a fat, round body. Its skin smells and tastes bad, so predators leave it alone.
Tree frog
A frog has teeth on its upper jaw. There are no teeth on a frog's lower jaw. Frogs use their teeth to hold prey.
European toad
A toad does not have teeth. It must swallow prey quickly.
African giant bullfrog
A male frog sings loudly on warm spring nights.
A female frog follows the sound to find the male. Then the frogs mate.
American toad
A male toad sings quietly for just a few minutes. Then he stops for a while. But a female toad can still find him.
A female frog lays eggs in clumps. A thick, slippery coating keeps them moist until they hatch.
A female toad lays eggs in long chains. After a few days, the eggs hatch and tiny tadpoles swim out.
It's a frog!
It's a toad!
Almost five thousand kinds of frogs live on Earth today.
