Amphibians Video

The difference between toads and frogs is that a toads skin is dry while a frogs skin is moist and smooth. A toad walks while a frog jumps to get around where it needs to be, and a toad has poison glands behind its eyes. Amphibians are considered to be an indicator of the health of our ecosystems because they can inhale toxins through there skin, so if something were wrong with the environment then they would begin to die. There has been a decrease in amphibian population because there has been an increase in pollution and they are easily succeptable to it. Any polution effort can be done to prevent this from happening further, and there are lots of groups trying to accomplish this.
