The hind limb muscles work together to provide the main force for the toad's jump. A hip extensor (semimembranosus), an ankle extensor (plantaris), and the gluteus and cruralis (knee extensors) are all critical in the act of jumping. The toad's skeleton is also specially designed with elongated limb bones to enable the jumping ability it possesses.
