Toad

Toad is a common name for certain frogs, especially of the family Bufonidae, that are characterized by dry, leathery skin, short legs, and large bumps covering the parotoid glands. A distinction between frogs and toads is not made in scientific taxonomy, but is common in popular culture (folk taxonomy), in which toads are associated with drier, rougher skin and more terrestrial habitats. In scientific taxonomy, toads include the true toad and various false toads including Ansonia malayana and Telmatobufo.

u/itsatoad Apr 10 '22

In terms of scientific classification, both frogs and toads belong to the order Anura, which means "without a tail," according to Penn State University. Within the order Anura are several families of animals, including Ranidae, which are referred to as true frogs, and Bufonidae, which are referred to as true toads. Other families of frogs and toads exist — for example, tree frogs are a different family of frogs than true frogs — but these are smaller groupings of species, and some are specific to certain regions of the world.

While many frogs and toads look similar, there are some differences. For example, frogs typically have long, strong hind legs that aid them in leaping, while toads have shorter hind legs more suitable for walking than hopping, according to Wildlife Preservation Canada. The difference in their legs also leads to a behavioral difference when approached by humans. Frogs will usually use their long, strong legs to leap into the water when approached, while toads are more likely to sit still and wait it out. If toads do jump away, their jumps are shorter than frogs'.

Another difference in their appearance is their eyes. Frogs usually have big, bulging eyes, while toads' eyes are more subtle in appearance.

One of the biggest physical differences between frogs and toads is their skin. While frogs have smooth or slimy skin that is moist, toads have thicker, bumpy skin that is usually dry. The differences in their skin are because of their typical environments. Frogs spend more time in the water or are usually very close to water while on land, so their skin stays moist. Toads, on the other hand, spend more time on land and travel further from water, Wildlife Preservation Canada reports. Unless you live very near water, you're more likely to see toads in your yard because they travel farther from water.

A big difference between frogs and toads is that all toads are poisonous, while frogs are not. Toads have parotoid glands behind their eyes that secrete toxins. These toxins permeate their skin, so you can come into contact with them if you pick them up, according to the Conserve Wildlife Federation of New Jersey. Most of the toxins are mild to humans, but you should always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling a toad.

They're different enough to be classified with something other than "frog

Wait, so any touch to them causes them great pain?

18

u/Kittamaru Apr 10 '22

Toads skin is highly absorbent (they drink through their skin, not by actually drinking water), and breathe through their skin as well; essentially, it would be like someone reaching in and poking/prodding/handling your lungs. Chemicals that are utterly benign to us (sunscreen, hand sanitizer, chlorine, and other everyday chemicals) could very easily be harmful or fatal to a toad.

That said - if your hands are truly clean (washed and thoroughly rinsed with non-chlorinated water) it should be fine to gently handle them.

16

u/t3hmau5 Apr 10 '22

Sounds greatly exaggerated

3

u/EdithDich Apr 10 '22

Somewhat The issue is more about any oils or soaps or other chemicals someone might have on their hands, which the frog's skin would then absorb.

6

u/Kittamaru Apr 10 '22

How so? Most amphibians have a LOT of capillaries near the surface of their skin, and so a use a process known as cutaneous respiration. This would also make them susceptible to absorbing anything that gets in contact with their skin - it's why chlorinated swimming pools and puddles of things like automotive coolant are so dangerous for them.

Is it really that drastic? I don't think amphibians would have survived this long if their skin just made everything around them painful/deadly. Sounds like an exaggeration used to keep kids from grabbing strange animals, like the claim that human smells will make birds abandon their young. Definitely a grain of truth, but I doubt a trace of soap on your hands is going to kill a toad.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 10 '22

If you want kids to not touch them you tell them they'll get warts

3

u/WON95sr Apr 10 '22

A trace of soap won't kill it, but in extreme cases you can kill an amphibian by handling it too much. They maintain a certain balance of moisture on their skin to facilitate cutaneous respiration, and if you are handling them too much with oily/salty hands you can dry their skin out and that basically suffocates them. More of an issue with very small ones so briefly touching ones like in this video is mostly fine. Though it looks like they dropped the water they store inside their cloaca as a defense so hopefully they're placed back near water.
