"Bombinatoridae: A Colorful World of Toads" From the vibrant yellow bellies to the striking warning colors, Bombinatoridae, commonly known as fire-bellied and yellow-bellied toads, captivate our attention with their unique features. In Kirchheimbolanden, Germany, a Yellow-bellied toad (Bombina variegata) reveals its underside, showcasing its distinctive yellow hue. Meanwhile in Lucerne, Switzerland during July, another male Yellow-bellied toad can be seen calling out from a pond - a mesmerizing sight indeed. These amphibians are not just visually stunning; they also possess intriguing defensive postures. One such example is the Apennine Yellow-bellied Toad (Bombina pachypus), found in Murgia Materana Park in Basilicata. This adult specimen sits on a rock in its natural habitat while displaying an unkenreflex posture with warning colors. Not far away in Italy's breeding season of May, an underwater scene unfolds as an Apennine Yellow-bellied Toad male navigates through water during this crucial time for reproduction. Let's not forget about the Oriental Fire-bellied Toad (Bombina orientalis). From side view to underside and even from above perspective - each angle offers us a glimpse into its intricate patterns and markings. As we explore these diverse species within the Bombinatoridae family captured by Dorling Kindersley Collection photographers worldwide, we gain insight into their fascinating world. These captivating creatures remind us that nature never ceases to amaze us with its beauty and diversity.
