Are toads edible?

Not edible. It is poisonous.

Toads, commonly known as toads, are a group of animals under the order Noctuidae, and most toads have poison glands behind their ears that secrete toxic secretions.

The most common toad is the large toad, commonly known as the toad. The skin is rough and the back is covered with large and small bumps, which are sebaceous glands. The largest pair of these are the postauricular glands located on the side of the head above the eardrum.

There are about 250 species of animals in the toad family, distributed throughout the world except for the sea islands of Australia and Madagascar, where toads have now been introduced. Although most toads live on land, sheltering in holes in the ground, there are also toads that must live in water or trees.

1. Toad Habits:

The toad lives on land, but when it lays its eggs, it must find a suitable pool of water. The male is responsible for finding the right body of water, and the female is attracted by its call, and is fertilized in vitro, with the eggs developing into tadpoles in the water.

Feeding on algae, the adults prey on insects, snails, etc. They are generally nocturnal, hiding in mud holes and bushes during the day and coming out in the evening. In winter, they hibernate at the bottom of the mud.
