The European fire-bellied toad is a medium-sized frog that lives in ponds and marshes across Central and Eastern Europe. It is famous for its bright red belly, which it shows off to warn predators that it is toxic. Its loud 'whoop' call is also distinctive.1

Giftig deur 'n byt of steek, of giftig om aan te raak of te eet? Sommige diere spuit gif in met 'n byt of 'n steek. Ander is skadelik om aan te raak of te eet. Hierdie een is giftig om aan te raak of te eet.

Hoe om dit te herken

Medium-sized frog, growing up to about 5.6 cm.1
Back colour can be grey, brown or green, and is covered in warts.1
Belly is red with thick black mottling.1
When threatened, it lifts its arms, sometimes flipping over, to show its red belly.1

Word dikwels verwar met: The yellow-bellied toad (Bombina variegata) is closely related and the two can hybridise where they overlap. The yellow-bellied toad lives at higher elevations in ponds that dry up quickly, has longer legs and thicker skin, and cannot call as loudly.1

Gifkrag

Gif in sy vel

Sy vel is giftig. Dit is gevaarlik om aan te raak, te lek of te eet.

Wat doen sy gif as jy daaraan raak of dit eet?

The skin of this toad contains bombinins, which have antibacterial and antifungal effects. Its red belly warns predators that its skin is toxic.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: LigSoos 'n bysteek of minder. Basies onskadelik vir mense.

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

When threatened, it lifts its arms, sometimes flipping over, to expose its red belly and warn predators of its toxicity.1

As iemand daaraan geraak of dit geëet het

As iemand aan een geraak het: was die hande goed en moenie aan die oë of mond raak nie. As 'n kind of troeteldier een gelek of geëet het: bel 'n gifsentrum of jou noodnommer.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As jy daaraan geraak of dit geëet het: moenie jou oë of mond vryf nie, was jou hande en kry mediese hulp.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Sy gif is net daar sodat niks dit eet nie. Meer oor veilig bly

Feite

The antifungal effect of bombinins in the skin makes them promising for use in food packaging to slow spoilage.1

A population in Lorraine, France, lives more than 500 km from its natural range, probably because people moved them there on purpose.1

Dozens of ponds dug in Funen County, Denmark, helped increase the population about five-fold in a decade.1

The prokineticin family of compounds was first discovered in this species and the yellow-bellied toad.1
