What are the differences between frogs and toads?

Frogs and toads are related.  Frogs are usually found in the water or on land that’s been flooded, whereas toads can live in both environments.  Frogs tend to eat insects and small animals, whereas toads prefer plant matter like flowers and berries.  However, many species of frogs and toads can switch from one diet to the other depending on their circumstances.  Frogs produce mucus to protect their body from predators, whereas toads do not.  Finally, frogs croak and toads emit clicks.

So I could see toads on land, but I would mainly see frogs in the water.

That’s right.  There are roughly as many toads as there are frogs, and both are mainly found in the northern hemisphere.  When you’re talking about frogs, you can be pretty sure it’s in the northern hemisphere, but I’m less sure about the toads.

Is it true that all toads are poisonous?
