		This is because the characteristics that are popularly used to distinguish frogs from toads are not quite the same as those used for scientific classification.
		The type species of the family Bufonidae is the Common toad, Bufo bufo, and around it cluster a large number of species of the same genus and some smaller genera.
		The chemicals, such as bufotenin in some toad species including the Colorado River toad and the Giant Neotropical Toad have been used recreationally by smoking their skin secretions or eating boiled toads.

		It differs from the Common Toad in having shorter limbs with nearly free toes (which are so short that the toad never hops but proceeds with a running gait) and in usually possessing orange/red warts, green eyes, and a pale yellow line along the middle of the back.

		The Giant Neotropical Toad (Bufo marinus) is native to the Caribbean (neotropics).
		This toad was introduced into Hawai'i in 1932 from Puerto Rico to control injurious insects in the sugar cane fields and took the name cane toad.
		Though originally only 40 toads were released in Queensland, a fertile female can produce up to 40,000 offsping in a year; the tadpoles of Cane toads mature earlier than other tadpoles in Australia, limiting their competition options for food.

		A distinction is often made between frogs and toads on the basis of their appearance, prompted by the convergent adaptation among so-called toads to dry environments; however, this distinction has no taxonomic basis.
		Frogs and toads are broadly classified into three suborders: Archaeobatrachia, which includes four families of primitive frogs; Mesobatrachia, which includes five families of more evolutionary intermediate frogs; and Neobatrachia, by far the largest group, which contains the remaining 24 families of "modern" frogs, including most common species throughout the world.
		The skin secretions of some toads, such as the Colorado River Toad and Giant Neotropical Toad, contain bufotoxins, some of which, such as bufotenin, are psychoactive, and have therefore been used as recreational drugs.

	TeachNet -- Cane Toad
		It seems that Australian officials decided to introduce Cane Toads (Bufo marinus) into Queensland and the eastern part of their country island, hoping that the amphibians would eat the larvae of the cane beetle that was threatening the sugar cane crops.
		Cane Toads are big, brown toads with deeply pitted glands extending down the sides of the body.
		Toads in general give off gland secretions that can be very irritating to mucous membranes and Cane Toads are no exception.

		Despite the large home range of the toad, it stays in relatively the same location for one evening but will feed in different locations throughout the course of the season, such that the toad may not be found feeding in the same spot from one evening to the next (Zug and Zug 1979).
		In their native environment, densities range from 50-140 toads per hectare, though in one evening only 31-50% of that population will be active (Zug and Zug 1979).
		An example of their success is that two years after Pemberton released his 148 toads, he collected 103, 517 juveniles from the same area for further distribution throughout the island (Zug et al.
