	Toad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The true toads are amphibians in the Bufonidae family.
		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.

	Toad (Nintendo) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Toads, the general collective name of the "Mushroom People" found in the Mushroom Kingdom, are a sapient, anthropomorphic mushroom race, with a peaceful, human-following monarchistic culture.
		A folk etymology attests that Toad is simply a variation of the word "toadie", or loyal follower: Toad is viewed as a sort of son by Princess Peach and always her constant companion.
		The comic Toad, who was featured the same way in other Mario print media published in the early 1990s was seemingly based more towards his game counterpart, as he did not have the Brooklyn accent of his cartoon counterpart, and he had the color scheme depicted in official Nintendo artwork.

	MSN Encarta - Toad
		Toad, group of froglike amphibians that are usually distinguished from frogs by the roughness of the skin, due to a large number of glandular tubercules, and by the shorter hind legs.
		Toads are shy, usually nocturnal animals, hiding during the day in dark, damp places and hopping about at night in search of insects, grubs, slugs, worms, and other invertebrates.
		Originally, it was thought that the toad would help control the can beetle and other pests in these areas; however, the giant toad has itself become a pest because it devours native wildlife.

		This is the case with the Houston toad, which has been eliminated from a significant portion of its modest range in the last 30 years.
		Because of their inability to leap to escape from predators, toads have developed a different means of protection.
		In addition to protecting the Houston toad from being eaten, many of these chemicals (such as serotonin and alkaloids) are used as medicines to treat heart and nervous disorders in humans.

	Houston Toad (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In order for the Houston Toad to survive, it must have sandy, loose soil at least 40 inches deep; the toad is a poor burrower, and must be able to bury itself in the sand to hibernate in the winter and escape the heat in the summer.
		The toad's preferred habitat is pine or oak woodlands with native bunchgrasses that allow for the toad's movement; non-native sod-forming grasses such as bermuda and bahia restrict the animal's movement and compromise its habitat.
		Male toads find their way to the ponds of water where they call for the females with a high-pitched trill that is one of the most distinctive features of the species.

	American Toad
		The Eastern American Toad is a medium sized toad usually found in the range from 2 to over 3 1/2 inches.

		The southwestern portion of the Dwarf American Toad's range overlaps with that of the Gulf Coast Toad.

	Cane Toads
		Cane Toads are found in habitats ranging from sand dunes and coastal heath to the margins of rainforest and mangroves.
		Toads in the tropics grow very quickly and may reach sexual maturity within one year, but in temperate southern Queensland they mature in 18 months to two years.
		Toads can be excluded from garden ponds and dams by a 50 cm high barrier such as an thick hedge or a wire mesh fence.

	Houston Toad (Bufo houstonensis)
		The toads burrow into the sand for protection from cold weather in the winter (hibernation) and hot, dry conditions in the summer (aestivation).
		Although the toad is believed to be adapted to fire regimes, prescribed burning may result in toad mortality.
		These toads occur in small, scattered populations, and may be more seriously affected by fire ants than species that are more common and widespread.

	SDNHM - Arroyo Toad
		It can be distinguished from other toads by non-paired, symmetrical dorsal blotches, bicolored parotid glands that are dark posteriorly and light anteriorly as well as a light spot on the sacral humps.
		Later, the Arroyo Toad tadpoles become tan as opposed to the darker color of the Western Toad larvae.
		The Arroyo Toad inhabits coastal southern California from Salinas River Basin in Monterey and San Luis Obispo Counties to Arroyo San Simón in northern Baja California, México.

	Toad Suck Park (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Of course, "Sugar Toad" is no less peculiar than "Toad Suck." There are two easy ways to account for the long "O" sound of "toad." One is to use aux, meaning "with." The other is eau meaning "water." Since we're talking about a riverbank landmark, I'm disposed toward the latter choice.
		So maybe "Toad Suck" is english for "Toad Suck." But that doesn't explain why the name would be applied to a building.
		Your Host comments: The fact that the area was used as a ford and ferry crossing does suggest it was shallow and even-bottomed and therefore would have tended to dry up first during the drought of summer.

	Fowler's Toad
		Fowler's Toad was previously considered a subspecies of the Woodhouse's Toad (Bufo woodhousii fowleri), but researchers now regard it as a separate species, Bufo fowleri.

		Fowler's Toad is known to hybridize with Woodhouse's Toad and even the American Toad (Bufo americanus), in which case it would show characteristics of both species.

		It is full of the best of what Toad has to offer-- heartfelt, gentle (but sometimes edgy), superb harmonies, melodies, and it is also the tightest they have sounded.
		What I have always been a fan of with Toad was the acoustic base, with Glenn's mellow and reassuring lead vocals, and Todd's ringing lead guitar, and the rest of the band's superb harmony.
