When predators try to eat one of these frogs, they taste the poison and spit them out. The predator sees the distinctive color pattern and remembers not to bite anything that looks like that again. There are some bright, colorful flowers in the rain forest but the forest is green or brown. These frogs stick out like a sore thumb. Most frogs have smooth, moist skin, hop when they move with their long, muscular legs, and lay large clumps of eggs.
Most toads have bumpy, dry skin, generally walk more than they hop, and lay long strings of eggs.
There are many exceptions, however. Both frogs and toads belong to a larger group of amphibians called Anurans . This is just untrue. This is sort of true, but there is a better answer. Frogs generally spend more time near water but both frogs and toads need water to lay eggs.
