<p>The European Green Toad is a toad found in mainland Europe, Western and Central Asia, and Northern Africa. They live in many areas, including steppes, mountainous areas, semi-deserts, and urban areas. The spots on their backs are usually green to dark brown. Most toads have white or very lightly colored stomachs.
</p><p>The toads eat a variety of invertebrates (insects etc.).
</p>
The European Green Toad has glands behind its neck that secrete a toxin when the toad is threatened. Female toads are larger than males and can lay 9,000 to 15,000 eggs at a time. They can reach a maximum size of 6 inches, but growth to this size is rare.
