Fire-Bellied Toads (Bombinoatoridae) of the United States
The fire-bellied toads are a group of 6 species of small frogs belonging to this genus. 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' reputely foul taste.
There is only 1 species found in the United States that was Introduced.
