Common frogs and toads may both be seen in gardens and wildlife
areas. Here are a few key things to look out for when
identifying…
Common frogs tend to have a dark mask behind the eye.
Common toads usually have golden
eyes and lack the mask.
Common frogs have smooth, moist
skin which is usually some shade of green-brown with darker
markings.
Common toads have 'warty' skin;
they are often found in much drier habitats than frogs. They can
be similar colours to frogs and sometimes have markings on the
skin.
Common frogs have long stripy
legs which they use to make quick jumps.
Common toads have shorter legs
and are more prone to crawling rather than hopping.
