Frogs and toads are very much alike and both belong to that group of cold-blooded creatures that live both in water and on land. Most frogs and toads resemble each other very closely and it’s often hard to tell them apart. Frogs and toads often live to a good old age, sometimes even as long as 30 or 40 years.

Frogs are smooth, slippery, long and graceful, where most toads are dry, warty and squat. Also, most frogs have teeth while most toads have none.

A toad lays fewer eggs than a frog, which means anywhere from 4000 to 12000 eggs every year, while a female bullfrog may put down from 18000 to 20000 eggs in a session. Almost all amphibians lay eggs and hatch them. There are certain kinds of toads in which the male plays an important role in hatching the eggs. Toads live in temperature and tropical regions. Handling toads is not harmful but in case of frogs it may harm.
