red-belly toad
Melanophryniscus admirabilis
The red-bellied toad is a small venomous toad about two centimeters long. It has a black back and a bright red belly that warns predators that the animal is dangerous.
The red-bellied toad differs from other toads with its very bright red belly and black back. It is important for nature as an insect predator and carrier of unique toxins studied by scientists. The species is endangered because it lives only in a tiny area.
