Use the passage to answer the question.

However, frogs need to keep their skin continually moist, so they live most of their lives around water. ______, toads can live in dry places like deserts. Reliance on water also shapes a frog’s legs, which are long and give frogs the ability to swim. In contrast, toads have shorter legs which give the animal a round and squat look.
