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

怎样认出它
- 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
常被误认为: 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

事实
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
