Some of the main differences between a frog and a toad include size, coloration, habitat, diet, and mating behavior. Frogs tend to be larger than toads, typically measuring up to 8 inches in length while toads usually measure less than 4 inches. Frogs also tend to have more colorful patterns, with many having bright colors such as greens, yellows, blues, and reds. Toads on the other hand tend to be drab in coloration, often being brown or gray. Frogs generally live in wetlands and ponds, while toads prefer drier habitats like fields and forests. Diet is another major difference; frogs eat insects, worms, and other small animals, while toads feed primarily on insects and spiders. Finally, mating habits differ greatly; frogs mate in water and lay eggs in foam nests, while toads breed on land and deposit their eggs in moist soil.
