Description

The locomotion of a toad is based on small jumps or hops and slow, usually short distance walks. When it comes to burrowing itself for defence or hibernation, toads dig with their hind legs using the large inner metatarsal tubercle. While digging, the animal uses its hind legs one after another in turn, and moves down into the soil rear end (posterior) first.
