Oriental fire-bellied toad
Strup v kožiJe: ŽuželkeStrupena za dotik ali zaužitje, ne ob ugrizu ali pikuThe Oriental fire-bellied toad is a small frog that lives in northeastern Asia, mostly near slow streams, ponds and forests. Its bright belly is a warning: when it is disturbed, it gives off a mild toxin through its skin. It is common across much of its range.1

Kako jo prepoznaš
- Bright grey, brownish or green upper skin with black mottling.1
- Bright yellow, red or orange-red belly, mottled with dark spots.1
- Red finger and toe tips are usually present.1
- Skin on the upper side is covered in small bumps called tubercles, which give it a toad-like look.1
- Adults are about 3.8 to 5.1 cm long.1
Pogosto zamenjujejo z: It is often mistaken for a toad, but it is not a true toad. Compared with other Bombina frogs, it has no gular sacs (throat pouches), its belly is usually more red than yellow, and it has bright finger tips.1
Moč strupa
Njena koža je strupena. Nevarno se je je dotakniti, jo polizati ali pojesti.
Kaj naredi njen strup, če se je dotakneš ali jo poješ?
The toad's skin releases a milky, mildly toxic substance when it is disturbed or frightened, mostly from the hind legs and sometimes the belly. Its toxins are described as mild, and the toxin does not pose a significant threat to human health. Captive toads are generally less toxic than wild ones, because their diet in the wild adds to their toxicity.1
Kako nevarna je za ljudi?
Nevarnost za ljudi: BlagaKot čebelji pik ali manj. Za ljudi praktično neškodljiva.The toxin does not pose a significant threat to human health, but its skin mucus can cause discomfort to the mouth and eyes if the toad is handled.1
Kaj naredi, ko se prestraši?
When threatened, it releases toxin from its skin, lies on its back to show its brightly coloured belly, and arches its head and holds up its limbs as a warning.1
Če se je je kdo dotaknil ali jo pojedel
- Če se je je kdo dotaknil: dobro umij roke in se ne dotikaj oči ali ust. Če jo je otrok ali hišni ljubljenček polizal ali pojedel: pokliči center za zastrupitve ali številko za klic v sili.
Vedno najprej pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911). To so splošna navodila za prvo pomoč, ne zdravniški nasvet. Osnove prve pomoči
Ostani varen
- Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
- Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
- Če si se je dotaknil ali jo pojedel: ne drgni si oči ali ust, umij si roke in poišči zdravniško pomoč.
Ne preži nate. Njen strup je tam samo zato, da je nihče ne poje. Več o varnosti

Dejstva
Unusually for a frog, this species has no eardrum or resonator, and it makes its calls by inhaling.1
In experiments, these toads learned to solve mazes using water as a reward, which other frog types did not manage.1
Its skin contains bombesin, a peptide that affects stomach function in mammals. It was first found in its relative, the European fire-bellied toad.1
Males call to females with a light sound that is compared to a musical triangle.1
Grass snakes and other water-dwelling snakes are known to eat these toads without any ill effect.1
In captivity they often live for around 12 years, and some have lived up to 30 years.1
Razbijalec mitov
Mit: It is a true toad.
Resnica: It is not a true toad, although its bumpy skin gives it a toad-like appearance.1
