Not a toad

This is a brown frog, rana temporaria. A toad (bufo bufo) looks like this.

You can also tell by their behaviour: (brown) frogs are much more agile and can jump large distances, whereas toads only crawl along mainly. It's much harder to catch a frog than a toad.

Your collection of fauna photos is very nice btw, I like it!

Cheers,

Rick

Re: Not a toad

Thank you for pointing out my error. I'm not a biologist and for a long time I wasn't sure wheather it's a toad or a frog. Thank you for all the information. Greetings, Henryk.

Re: Not a toad

Ah I'm not a biologist either, but just have a lot of frogs and toads in the garden :-)
