Frog and Toad Identification

The video explores the differences between frogs and toads, highlighting their physical and behavioral traits. It explains how to identify them by their skin texture, presence of paratoid glands, teeth, movement, and habitat preferences. Frogs have smooth, shiny skin and teeth, while toads have bumpy skin and no teeth. Frogs leap, and toads hop or walk. Frogs prefer water, while toads can live on dry land. Both lay eggs in water, but frogs lay them in clusters, and toads in chains. The video concludes with an interactive game to practice identifying frogs and toads.
