蟾蜍, commonly known as the toad, is an amphibian belonging to the family Bufonidae. These creatures are characterized by their dry, warty skin and stout bodies. Toads are typically found in a variety of habitats, including forests, grasslands, and near water sources. They are known for their ability to adapt to different environments. Toads are primarily nocturnal and feed on insects and other small invertebrates. They play an important role in controlling pest populations. Unlike frogs, toads tend to have shorter legs and a more terrestrial lifestyle. Their unique adaptations help them thrive in diverse ecosystems, making them an essential part of the food web.
