Question

Frogs and toads are different in some ways, but they are similar in a few ways, too. Toads have dry,
wart-covered skin while frogs have wet, smooth skin. Frogs have tiny teeth, but toads have none.
Frogs have longer back legs than toads, so frogs jump while toads hop. However, both are
amphibians2, and both are similar in appearance. Both have voices and can make sounds. Both must
reproduce in a body of water. Usually in the spring or early summer, toads and frogs find water.
Then, the males begin broadcasting their mating calls. The females enter the water and lay their
eggs, and the males fertilize them. In about ten days, the eggs hatch into tadpoles. Both the young
froglets and toadlets share many of the same enemies, including fish, turtles, snakes, and birds.
