Is toad poisonous?

: 1. Living habits

I like to hide in mud pits, under wet stones, in the grass and beside ditches. Skin loses moisture easily, so it often hides during the day and comes out at dusk. Most adult toads live in underwater sediments or wet soil on land for winter. Stop eating, store glycogen in the body to maintain the lowest metabolism, and end hibernation when the temperature rises to 10 ~ 20℃ in the following year.

They hunt and move at night, feeding on beetles, moths, snails and fly maggots. Artificial reproduction is easier than other frogs. Male toad midwives carry many newborn toad eggs on their backs. Its responsibility is to protect these toad eggs from other predators.

2. Geographical distribution

Toads are distributed all over the country. From late spring to late autumn, they often lurk between grass and crops during the day, or around houses and under rocks and caves in dry land, and often climb on the roadside and grass to feed at dusk. Many people are slow and clumsy and are not good at swimming. Most of the time, they crawl, but when they are in danger, they will jump in small steps and short distances (there are exceptions, such as Ranidae, Rana chensinensis, which have good jumping ability and flexibility, and the toad with slippery toes can jump like a frog).
