"(with the exception of the introduced cane toad), and New Guinea and Oceania. Two species are found in the British Isles: the common toad (""Bufo bufo""), and the natterjack toad, (""Bufo calamita""). The former is found almost everywhere in Great Britain, but not in Ireland. The natterjack, which differs in its shorter limbs with nearly free toes (which are so short, the toad never hops but proceeds in a running gait) and in usually possessing orange or red warts, green eyes, and a pale-yellow line along the middle of the back, is local in England, the south-west of Scotland, and"
