any one of numerous species of batrachians belonging to the
genus bufo and allied genera, especially those of the

habits except during the breeding season, when they seek 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.
