Bufonidae - True Toads

The toads in this family have warty skin, plump bodies, short legs, and parotid glands on the side of their heads. The parotid glands secrete a poison that can repel or even kill predators.

True toads have no teeth or breastbone. Some people think that if you touch a toad, you will get warts. That is not true.

Most species in this family are dull in color and live on land. They range in size from one inch to eight inches in length.

There are over 500 species in this family, and they are found around the world, except for in Australia and its surrounding islands.
