Use these maps to explore the variability of the Australian climate. Australia's size, geography and location result in a diversity of climate patterns across the continent and its nearby islands. These maps provide information about average as well as more extreme conditions.
Most toads prefer a dry environment, and have leathery or warty skin, though there are some species that need a lot of water just like frogs. Since toads are carnivores, they prefer to eat insects, worms and other types of live prey. What do Baby Toads Eat.
Toads can live in drier climates, where most frogs usually live in or near water. In the Tropics, where most anuran (members of the order comprising the frogs, toads, and tree toads) species occur, however, the differences are harder to determine, and some species could qualify as either toads or frogs.
