   Fewer Toads
   Though toads are still around, they no longer
are as common in some areas as they were a
few decades ago. The growing use of
insecticides has reduced their numbers. The
chemical sprays usually do not harm toads, but
cut down the animals’ food supply. Thereby, the
toads do not have enough food to survive.
There are fewer toads in many areas populated
by humans.
