Toad

Uncommon card · No. 93994

Toad (also known as a hoptoad) is a generic common name for certain groups of frogs, especially those of the family Bufonidae, that are characterized by short legs and dry, leathery skin with large bumps made of the parotoid glands. In popular culture (folk taxonomy), toads are distinguished from frogs by their drier, rougher skin and association with more terrestrial habitats. However, this distinction does not align precisely with scientific taxonomy.
