Fire Bellied Toad

The fire-bellied toads are a group of six species of small frogs belonging to the genus Bombina. The name "fire-bellied" is derived from the brightly colored red- or yellow-and-black patterns on the toads' ventral regions, which act as aposematic coloration, a warning to predators of the toads' reputedly foul taste.
