Toads

Southeast Asia

Toads are differentiated from frogs by the presence of parotoid glands, which take the shape of lumps at the back of their heads. Their skin also tends to take a warty appearance and coupled with a larger size, classify them loosely from frogs. Nevertheless, the distinctions are sometimes unclear. Some species tend to be terrestial while others burrow. Toads are also able to secrete a toxin through their parotoid glands when stressed. Is is not true that all toads are large, as some Malaysian species are no bigger than a thumb. Also, large toads tend to be less active in movement while smaller species with long hind legs can be agile jumpers.
