✦ Synopsis

Concerning the Toad.-It is apparently in the best interests of self-preservation for the toad to make itself as distasteful as possible. According to biologists of the United States Department of Agriculture, a milky poisonous fluid is secreted in a pair of large, glandular masses behind the toad's eyes.

Any animal having the temerity to bite the toad will find that this secretion produces a bitter astringent taste.

However, this defensive equipment does not protect the toad from snakes, skunks or birds of prey. Skunks in eating toads usually roll them about roughly with their paws until the poisonous secretion has been discharged and rubbed off.
