The difference between a Toad and a Frog; and Why Frogs Pee on You.
You can recognize Bufos because they are sort of stout, very warty and have moist skin. They also have a large poison gland behind their ear membrane and above their shoulders — right where a potential predator would bite them. Bufo’s also have a lumbering hop and don’t go very far when they jump.
