Toads

Toads are amphibians that crawl
Rather than hop and they're nocturnal
They swallow food whole as they lack teeth
As they grow they shed their skin that they eat

In spring males will make their way to ponds and wait
For females to come and choose their mate
Based on if she likes the sound of his call
They produce long strings of spawn
Not all toads are born as tadpoles

Paratoid glands produce a poisonous secretion
That helps toads to avoid being eaten
They can also puff themselves up to appear
More threatening as a defence
Some can live for 40 years
