The term 'bufo' generally refers to a type of toad, specifically belonging to the Bufo genus. These toads are known for their stout bodies, warty skin, and prominent parotoid glands that secrete toxins. Think of them as the grumpy-looking bouncers of the amphibian world. Unlike sleek frogs, bufo toads are built for land and often waddle rather than hop gracefully. They're the chill, laid-back cousins you see chilling at family gatherings 🐸. While some species are harmless, others can be quite poisonous, so admiring from a distance is a good idea. Consider them the 'don't touch' sign of the animal kingdom.
