Any one of numerous species of batrachians belonging to the genus {
Bufo }
and allied genera ,
especially those of the family {
Bufonidae }.
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 .
Most toads have a rough ,
warty skin in which are glands that secrete an acrid fluid .
[
1913 Webster ]
Note :
The common toad ({
Bufo vulgaris })
and the natterjack are familiar European species .
The common American toad ({
Bufo lentiginosus })
is similar to the European toad ,
but is less warty and is more active ,
moving chiefly by leaping .
