Toad Anatomy
Toad anatomy refers to the physical structure and biological makeup of a toad, a type of amphibian characterized by a stout body, short legs, and leathery skin. This includes features such as the toad's skin, which is covered in warts and can secrete toxins for defense, as well as its prominent parotoid glands behind the eyes. Other key aspects of toad anatomy include its large, bulging eyes, webbed feet for swimming, and a specialized respiratory system that allows it to breathe both through its lungs and its skin. Additionally, toads possess a unique skeletal structure, with elongated hind limbs adapted for jumping and a specialized tongue for capturing prey.
