[edit] Description

This is a truly cosmopolitan genus, able to live under adverse conditions. However, they do not occur in the Arctic regions, Australia, (with the exception of the introduced Cane Toad (Bufo marinus)), New Guinea and the neighbouring islands.

They have in common a stocky figure and short legs, which makes them poor jumpers. As with all members of the toad family Bufonidae, they lack a tail, they lack teeth and they have horizontal pupils. Their dry skin is thick and warty.

Behind their eyes, Bufo species have a wartlike structure, the parotoid glands. These glands distinguish the true toads from all other tailless amphibians. They secrete a fat, white poisonous substance which acts as a deterrent to predators. Ordinary handling of toads is not dangerous (and it certainly does not cause warts!). The venom of most if not all toads contains bufotoxin; the venom of the Sonoran Desert Toad, Bufo alvarius, is a potent hallucinogen containing 5-MeO-DMT and bufotenin. The venom's psychoactive effects is said to have been known to Precolumbian Native Americans.

Toads can also inflate their bodies when threatened. Males are usually smaller than females. Male toads also possess the organ of Bidder, an incomplete ovary. The adult males of many species show a dark throat.

Two species are found in the British Isles: the Common Toad (Bufo bufo), and the Natterjack Toad, (Bufo calamita). The former is found almost everywhere. The Natterjack, which differs in its shorter limbs with nearly free toes (which are so short that the toad never hops but proceeds in a running gait) and in usually possessing orange/red warts, green eyes & a pale yellow line along the middle of the back, is local in England, the south-west of Scotland, and the west of Ireland. It is further remarkable for the very loud croak of the males, produced by a large vocal bladder on the throat which, when inflated, is larger than the head.

[edit] Groups

Species in this genus can be quite different, which has led to a recent recommendation in the Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History to split the genus. Under the proposal, North and South American Bufo species would be moved to their own genus, Anaxyrus.^[1] For the moment, though, the relationships between the different species are tentatively formalized by categorizing them into groups:

Bufo americanus group
Bufo angusticeps group
Bufo arabicus group
Bufo asper group
Bufo blanfordi group
Bufo bufo group
Bufo debilis group.
Bufo granulosus group
Bufo margaritifer group
Bufo nesiotes, Bufo hypomelas, and the Bufo guttatus group might warrant generic recognition.
Bufo peltocephalus group (former Peltophryne).
Bufo punctatus group (including the Bufo debilis group).
Bufo regularis group
Bufo scaber group
Bufo stomaticus group
Bufo taitanus complex may be paraphyletic with respect to Didynamipus; no unambiguous evidence of monophyly supports this taxon.
Bufo tuberosus group.
Bufo valliceps group.
Bufo veraguensis group.
Bufo vertebralis group
Bufo viridis group.
