The species in this family have warty skin, plump bodies, short legs, and
parotid glands on the side of their heads. The
parotid glands
secrete a poison that can repel, or even kill predators.
True toads have no teeth or breastbone. Some people think that if you touch a toad you will get warts. That is not true. Most species in this family are dull in color and live on the land. They range in size from one inch to eight inches in length.
There are over 500 species in this family and they are found all over the world, except for in Australia and its surrounding islands.
