Toads Toads are amphibians closely related to frogs . Toads refer to any member of the 200 species in the family Bufonidae .
Toads are mostly land-dwelling animals with a thick and warty skin.
Although they still need moisture, it is generally much less than what frogs require. They are found in field, gardens, woodlands, and meadows. The only time that toads go in water is when they reproduce. Toads lay about 20,000 eggs at a time, with the giant toad laying up to 100,000. The tadpoles that are hatched transform into adults in a few weeks.
