The terms "frog" and "toad" are not taxonomic terms used by zoologists to classify tailless amphibians or anuran amphibians (order Anura). These words are old English words that have been used as names for the two most common species of anuran amphibians found in the British Isles: the Common Frog, Rana temporaria, and the Common Toad, Bufo bufo. As the science of zoology advanced scientists began cataloging species from around the world. For this purpose Linnaeus developed his system of classification in the 1700's which is still in use today. For common names, however, there is no standard system for naming animals. As a result, the words "frog" and "toad" have been applied to new species depending upon how much they look like Rana temporaria or Bufo bufo. All anurans that are closely related to Rana temporaria have been termed "true frogs" and those that are closely related to Bufo bufo are called "true toads". However, these two groups represent only two families (Ranidae and Bufonidae, respectively) out of the 29 families of anuran amphibians recognized today.
