Write four observable differences between rat and toad

Frog or toad: how to tell the difference

Skin

If there was ever a tell-tale sign to indicate which amphibian you are looking at, it’s the texture of their skin. Toads are warty-looking, covered in little lumps and bumps, while frogs are sleek and smooth. Toads also virtually always have dry skin, whereas frogs look wet even when they are out of the water.

Location

If you’ve spotted an amphibian making its way along a pavement or ambling through some grass, chances are it’s a toad. Toads cope much better with dry conditions than frogs, as their skin is more waterproof. Frogs lose moisture a lot more easily, and so are rarely seen too far away from water, which explains why they always look moist.

Legs

Frogs have long legs, longer than their head and body, which are made for hopping. Toads, on the other hand, have much shorter legs and prefer to crawl around rather than hop.
