Todds are a type of small, often colorful amphibian belonging to the family Bufonidae. They are commonly found in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and gardens. Todds are known for their warty skin and stout bodies, which help them retain moisture in their environments. They primarily feed on insects and other small invertebrates. Unlike frogs, toads typically have a more terrestrial lifestyle and prefer to stay on land rather than in water. They lay their eggs in long strings rather than clusters, which is a distinctive feature. Many species of toads are also known for their ability to secrete toxins as a defense mechanism against predators.
