What text structure?
What is the difference between a frog and a toad? Although they belong to the same animal group, they are very different animals. They are both amphibians, which means they live on land and in water throughout their lives. They both lay eggs in water. Frogs and toads also eat in a similar way by using their long sticky tongues to catch insects. Also neither frogs nor toads will give you warts. That’s just a myth. However, there are many differences between these two animals. For instance, adult frogs spend most of their time in water. They have slim bodies and smooth skin. Frogs also have long back legs. Unlike frogs, toads live on land. Toads have plump bodies and rough skin. Instead of long legs, toads have short back legs.
