Toad
Toad refers to a number of
species of
amphibians. A distinction is often made between
frogs and toads by their appearance, prompted by the
convergent adaptation among so-called toads to dry environments, which often entails a brown skin for camouflage which is also dry and leathery for better water retention. Many so-called toads also
burrow, which requires further adaptations. However, these adaptations merely reflect the environment a species has adapted to, and are not reliable indicators of its ancestry. Since
taxonomy reflects only evolutionary relationships, any distinction between frogs and toads is irrelevant to their classification.
