FROGS

Classification

Frogs are amphibians and vertebrates of the order Anura.

Frogs vs Toads

There is not much difference between frogs and toads, and they are not classified separately. This is because the toad lifestyle, with its dry, rough, skin, is an adaptation to living in drier habitats. The toad form has evolved a number of times independently, an example of convergent evolution.
