sapos
Sapos, commonly known as toads, are amphibians belonging to the family Bufonidae. They are characterized by their dry, warty skin, short legs, and a stout body. Unlike frogs, which typically have smooth skin and long legs for jumping, toads are more adapted to a terrestrial lifestyle. They can be found in various habitats, including gardens, forests, and wetlands.
Toads are primarily nocturnal and feed on insects, worms, and other small invertebrates. They play a crucial role in controlling pest populations. Many species of sapos have unique adaptations, such as the ability to secrete toxins from their skin to deter predators.
