European fire-bellied toad
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

Eziokwu
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
