蟾蜍跳躍賽(Toad
Suck Daze)
地方性遺產
您曾看過蟾蜍比賽嗎？您可以在阿肯色州的康韋市(Conway)，觀看蟾蜍跳躍賽，它是一個一年一度的慶祝活動，旨在頌揚當地的文化及歷史；除了一般的節慶活動外，如音樂、手工藝、市集及專門的展覽會、步行比賽、跳舞及救火員競賽外，它還會在一個8英尺寬的場地上，舉辦蟾蜍比賽，而這項競賽的嚴格規定如下：
-
禁止青蛙入賽
–
只有蟾蜍可以參加此一比賽；青蛙及蟾蜍有什麼不同？請參閱以下說明。
-
不可以截、推或撞蟾蜍。
-
除了憑藉蟾蜍本身的力量前進外，不可以丟擲或以其他方式將蟾蜍送過終點線。
-
只有在蟾蜍跳出界限時，為將蟾蜍放回它所屬的線道時，您才可以觸碰您的蟾蜍。
雖然屬同種動物，但蟾蜍跟青蛙並不相同；蟾蜍不需像青蛙一樣，長時間的待在水中；通常，它們較為矮胖、短小，後腿也較無力，而且它們摸起來較為粗糙、乾燥及多疣，而不像青蛙的皮膚，那麼的平滑及潮濕。
Have you ever seen toads race? You can at the Toad Suck Daze in Conway, Arkansas -- a yearly celebration of local culture and history. In addition to regular festivity events such as music, arts and crafts, a business and professional exposition, foot races, dancing, and a fire fighter's competition, the toad race competition takes place on an 8-foot course. And there are strict rules for the race:
- No frogs -- only toads are allowed to race. What's the difference between a frog and a toad? See below.
- The toad cannot be prodded, pushed or shoved.
- Toads may not be thrown, or otherwise propelled other than by their own power, over the finish line.
- You may touch your toad only to place it back in its lane once it has jumped out of bounds.
Although related, a toad is not the same as a frog. Toads do not spend as much time in the water as frogs; they are generally squatter, shorter and have weaker limbs; and they are rough, dry and warty rather than smooth and moist-skinned.
