Most toads live on land, away from the water. But, like frogs, they return to the water to lay eggs.

The term toads tends to refer to "True Toads"....
members of the family Bufonidae, containing more than 300 species.
These types of frogs have are characterized by:
- stubby bodies with short hind legs (for walking instead of hopping)
- warty and dry skin (usually preferring dryer climates)
- paratoid (or poison) glands behind the eyes
- The chest cartilage of toads is different also.
- Toads tend to lay eggs in long chains. (There are some toads (genera Nectophrynoides), however, that are the only types of anurans to bear live young!)
True Toads can be found worldwide except in Australasia, polar regions, Madagascar, and Polynesia, though Bufo marinus has been artificially introduced into Australia and some South Pacific islands.
Besides Bufo, the family includes 25 genera, all of which, like the frogs, are anura!
