European fire-bellied toad — size comparison — facts and sources

The European fire-bellied toad (Bombina bombina) inhabits shallow lowland European waters. It uses shallow, warm ponds and floodwaters. Its dark back helps conceal it in shallow water.

The contrasting red-orange belly pattern may be exposed defensively, signalling skin secretions to an attacker. It spends much time in water, and males call from the surface.

It eats small invertebrates. Eggs attach to plants in small groups. Altering shallow waters reduces breeding sites.
