Oriental Fire Bellied Toad

 

Oriental Fire-bellied Toads

Fire-bellied toads are named for their bright orange bellies, which they use to warn predators that they are toxic.  These toads cannot extend their tongues to catch food.  They have to catch insects with their mouths and use their forearms to stuff the food in.  They spend most of their time in the water.  They are native to southern China, Thailand, Korea, and other south-east Asian countries.
