What's the difference between a frog and a toad?

Generalization.

Frogs - > two bulging eyes,smooth or slimy skin, long/strong webbed hind legs used for leaping and swimming, most frogs lay eggs in groups or clusters, spend time near/ in water.

Toads - > short hind legs ( not for swimming nor leaping ), warty / dry skin, paratoid gland is present, eggs masses tend to be in long chains, mostly terrestial.

Simple guide line really.
