The toad lays a string of eggs while the frog lays eggs in a mass. Once hatched, they follow a similar method of development to adulthood.
The toad unlike the frog does not frequent the water expect to breed. The body of a toad is oval in shape and is about half as broad as it is long. Frogs are more slightly built with the body somewhat pointed at both ends.
