All toads are frogs, but not all frogs are toads. Toads generally have bumpy, dry skin and spend their adult lives on land--though they must return to water to lay eggs. Though toads are frogs, those animals that have a "frog" in their name are usually found near water (true frogs) or in the trees (tree frogs).

We live in a galaxy known as the Milky Way -- a vast conglomeration of 300 billion stars, planets whizzing around them, and clouds of gas and dust floating in between.
