How toads lay their eggs differently than frogs

   Toads eggs are normally near the water, attached to leaves or grass.  They are normally in strands resembling black beads.  
     Frogs spread their eggs out on the water in clusters that are roundish.  They look like a little clear glob with a black dot in them.  

Female American toads lay their eggs in freshwater. Hatching occurs 3 to 12 days after laying, depending on the temperature of the water. The tadpoles group together and feed and grow for 40 to 70 days. When the tadpoles hatch they have gills located on the sides of their heads just posterior to their mouths.A. Jelly-like masses of eggs are called frog's spawn. Here's how frog spawn happens: A female frog lays eggs under water, usually in the spring. She may layas many as 20,000 eggs. The male frog climbs on her back and fertilizes the eggsas they are laid.
