Yellow-bellied toad

The yellow-bellied toad is a small amphibian found across western and parts of eastern Europe. Recognizable by its bright underside, it belongs to the same family as fire-bellied toads. Though its numbers are slowly dropping, conservation efforts in places like Germany aim to protect it.

• Its belly flashes yellow as a warning to predators.
• Lives in scattered populations across western and eastern Europe.
• Conservation programs in Germany help slow its population decline.
