@everyday_naturalist: Dad Jokes told to a Toad Toads are some of the most fascinating amphibians on Earth, and they’re far more than just ‘warty frogs.’ Unlike their smoother-skinned relatives, true toads (family Bufonidae) have dry, bumpy skin covered with specialized glands, including the parotoid glands behind their eyes, which secrete mild toxins to deter predators. Most toads live primarily on land, venturing to water only to breed, and their squat bodies and short legs are built for walking or short hops rather than long leaps. Toads also have unique life cycles—laying long strings of eggs instead of clumps, and undergoing a rapid transformation from aquatic tadpole to terrestrial adult. These traits help them thrive in diverse environments, from backyards to forests, and make them vital pest controllers, consuming countless insects each night. #toads #amphibians #dadjokes #funny #humor #naturejokes #animaljokes #frogs #herps #herping #Hiking #nature #wildlife #jokes
