The Apennine yellow-bellied toad is a small amphibian from the fire-bellied toad family. It lives only in the mountainous regions of the Apennine Peninsula in Italy and has a bright yellow belly with black spots.
The Apennine yellow-bellied toad differs from the common fire-bellied toad by its darker back and limited range in the mountains of Italy. It is important for nature as a destroyer of harmful insects and an indicator of the quality of mountain water bodies.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
