'''Toads''' are a number of kinds of [[amphibian]]s, found worldwide, even as far North as the [[Arctic Circle]].

They call it Xanadu

While the distinction between toads and [[frog]]s is to some extent an arbitrary one, a toad will typically move in an ambulatory fashion (i.e. by walking) whereas a frog will hop. Toads are also generally more terrestrial in their habits.

Open your eyes and see

We are in Xanadu

Eternally

The main defence of toads is unpleasant-tasting or poisonous skin-secretions, though some will also inflate themselves to avoid being readily swallowed. The North American toad ''Bufo alvarius'' is actively sought by 'toad-lickers' [http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Labyrinth/9624/thetoad.html] for its powerfully psychoactive secretions.
