Common amphibians are two of the most well-known species, the TOAD and the FROG. Toads are characterized by their dry, bumpy skin and short legs, while frogs have smooth, moist skin and long legs. Both species are found in a variety of habitats, from ponds and streams to deserts and forests. They are both carnivorous, eating insects, worms, and other small animals. Toads and frogs are both important members of the ecosystem, providing food for larger animals and helping to control insect populations.
