Q.1 Read the passage carefully and do the following activities:
A1 Read the passage and find two false statements from the following.
(i) Frogs and toads are completely different.
(ii) Frogs and toads show behavioural differences.
(iii)Frogs spend more time on land.
(iv) You are more likely to see toads in your yard.
Many frogs and toads look similar, though there are some differences. For example, frogs typically have long, strong hind legs that aid them in leaping, while toads have shorter hind legs more suitable for walking than hopping. The difference in their legs also leads to a behavioural difference when approached by humans. Frogs will usually use their long, strong legs to leap into the water when approached, while toads are more likely to sit still and wait it out. If toads do jump away, their jumps are shorter than frogs’.
Another difference in their appearance is their eyes. Frogs usually have big, bulging eyes, while toads’ eyes are more subtle in appearance.
One of the biggest physical differences between frogs and toads is their skin. While frogs have smooth or slimy skin that is moist, toads have thicker, bumpy skin that is usually dry. The differences in their skin are because of their typical environments. Frogs spend more time in the water or are usually very close to water while on land, so their skin stays moist. Toads, on the other hand, spend more time on land and travel further from water, Wildlife Preservation Canada reports. Unless you live very near water, you’re more likely to see toads in your yard because they travel farther from water.
