Venn Diagrams are great for explaining the relationship between two or more items. In this case, it is used to help explain the small differences between frogs and toads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s important to know that the English word “frog” and “toad” are common names for species within the order Anura<\/em> (scientific classification). From a taxonomic standpoint, all members within the Anura<\/em> order are considered frogs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Only members within the Bufonidae<\/em> family are considered toads or “true toads”.<\/strong> There are a few differences in appearance that can be noted. Most frogs tend to have smooth skin and rarely venture far from water. Meanwhile, true toads often have bumpy skin and they’re not as dependent on water as other Anurans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n These are generally the types of characteristics used to describe the differences between frogs and toads. It’s not that simple. Some true toads have smooth skin and some species not within the Bufonidae<\/em> family have bumpy skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Oriental fire-bellied toad, for example, is not within the Bufonidae<\/em> family, yet its English common name includes the word “toad”. It is not a true toad but it has bumpy skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
