ToadToad (?), n. [OE. tode, tade, AS. tādie, tādige; of unknown origin. Cf. Tadpole.] (Zoöl.) Any one of numerous species of batrachians belonging to the genus Bufo and allied genera, especially those of the family Bufonidæ. Toads are generally terrestrial in their habits except during the breeding season, when they seek the water. Most of the species burrow beneath the earth in the daytime and come forth to feed on insects at night. Most toads have a rough, warty skin in which are glands that secrete an acrid fluid.
☞ The common toad (Bufo vulgaris) and the natterjack are familiar European species. The common American toad (Bufo lentiginosus) is similar to the European toad, but is less warty and is more active, moving chiefly by leaping.

A toad is any of a number of species of amphibians in the order Anura (frogs) characterized by dry, leathery skin (usually pink and orange-coloured), short legs, and snout-like parotoid glands.[citation needed] A distinction between frogs and toads is not made in taxonomy, but is common in popular culture, in which toads are associated with drier skin and more terrestrial habitats than frogs.[1] In taxonomy, toads are spread across families Bufonidae, Bombinatoridae, Discoglossidae, Pelobatidae, Rhinophrynidae, Scaphiopodidae, and Microhylidae.[2] A group of toads is called a knot.[3]
The bumps on a toad's skin help the animal blend into its environment visually by breaking up its outline.[citation needed] Also, the parotoid gland is often mistaken for 'warts'.[citation needed] They are present on healthy specimens and are not a result of infection.[citation needed]
