\"The Order Anura
Frogs and Toads.
The members of this group, the largest of the living orders of amphibians, have loosely fitting skins, no tails when adult, bony pectoral girdles, and usually no ribs. Fertilisation is always external, and no species remains larval for life. The anatomy is specialised for jumping: the vertabral column is short, with extensively fused vertebrae, the main bones of the limbs are fused, and the hind limbs are much longer than the forelimbs. Frogs and toads breathe by moving the floor of the mouth, first drawing air into the mouth and then forcing it into the lungs after closing the nostrils. There are twelve families. ...\"
