noun

The order of amphibians made up of frogs and toads, set apart from other amphibians by having no tail once grown.

The order holds thousands of species found on every continent except Antarctica, from tiny poison frogs to large toads. Biology textbooks classify anura alongside one order for salamanders and another for the limbless caecilians, giving the class of amphibians three orders in total.
