A whole frog. anura https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8844-9165 A frog is any member of a diverse and largely carnivorous group of short-bodied, tailless amphibians composing the order *Anura*. The use of the common names "frog" and "toad" has no taxonomic justification. From a classification perspective, all members of the order *Anura* are frogs, but only members of the family *Bufonidae* are considered "true toads". The use of the term "frog" in common names usually refers to species that are aquatic or semi-aquatic and have smooth, moist skins; the term "toad"generally refers to species that are terrestrial with dry, warty skins.
