1.1 Introduction
Frog and toad, (order Anura), either also called anuran or salientian, amphibians belonging to the order Anura, which, because of their wide distribution, are known by most people around the world. The name frog is commonly applied to those forms with long legs and smooth mucus-covered skins, while toad is used for a variety of robust short-legged forms, especially those with rough skins. The name toad is applied so unevenly that one member of a family may be called a toad and a closely related member a frog. The familiar members of the family Bufonidae may be distinguished as “true toads.” In this article, frog is applied generally to all members of order Anura and toad to those for which it has traditionally been used. There are roughly 7,300 species of living frogs and toads (Britannica, 2021).
