genus Bufo and allied genera, especially those of the
family Bufonid[ae]. Toads are generally terrestrial in
their habits except during the breeding season, when they
seek the water. Most of the species burrow beneath the earth
in the daytime and come forth to feed on insects at night.

secrete an acrid fluid.

leaping.
