Yellow-bellied toad
The yellow-bellied toad is a small toad with a bright yellow and black belly that it shows only when it feels threatened. It lives mainly in mountain areas of western Europe. Its skin toxins are not fatal to people, but they can harm smaller animals.1

Dintlha
When a male is threatened or wants to attract a female, he kicks his hind legs into a small pond to make a wave-like pattern. This marks his territory and only works in ponds of a certain depth.1
They can change the shade of their colour to suit lighter or darker surroundings by moving pigment within their cells.1
Yellow-bellied toads breed in unpredictable places, such as shallow pools that can disappear overnight. Within their family, they are the only species that chooses such sites.1
Their life span ranges from 5 to 23 years, and climate plays a large role in how long an individual lives.1
Males have longer forelimbs than females, which is thought to help them during mating and fights with other males.1
