Oriental Fire-bellied Toad Bombina orientalis

The Oriental Fire-bellied Toad is native to Korea, northeastern China and southeastern Siberia. Despite its common name, it is not a true toad but a warty frog.

From above, it is a camouflaged green with black cryptic markings. The underside is black with bright orange, warning potential predators that it is toxic. The fingertips are also orange.

The eggs are laid like frog spawn. There are several other species of Fire-bellied Toad in genus Bombina in other regions of the world.

Although usually light green in their Asian habitat, the frogs can turn darker to blend with a darker background.
