Bufonidae (Gray, 1825) True Toads
There are over 450 toad species distributed throughout all continents except the Australopapuan region, Madagascar, and Oceania. Bufo marinus has been introduced to Australia and Papua New Guinea. The genus Atelopus possess Tetradotoxin, the same neurotoxin found in toxic newts of the caudate family Salamandridae. True toads are typically robust, with thick glandular skin, thick front and hind legs, and most lead terrestrial lives, with the exception of a few species.
