Is this a little frog or a toad? We are curious...

Thanks!

Glad to see ya on the boards, Christina! :-)

I'm not sure if it's a frog or toad. Good question! I grew up calling these frogs but I'm really not sure...

Your neighbor,
JoAnna

Looks like a frog to me. Here is a good site that explains a little on how to tell the difference.
Backyard Nature-frogs and toads
Also check out the link to the toad page which explains in more detail some of the differences.

Toads do hop.

It looks to me like a newly metamorphosized Bufo (toad). They stay damp for a while after they come out of the tadpole stage, and are very common in vernal pools all summer. Just a guess, though, without seeing it in person.
