Phenotypic adaptation in terms of background color matching to the local habitat is an important mechanism for survival in prey species. Thus, intraspecific variation in cryptic coloration is expected among localities with dissimilar habitat ...

This community is dedicated to the fire-bellied toads of the genus Bombina, a group of small amphibians known for their bright red, yellow, or orange ventral coloration, used as a warning to predators.

There are six recognized species: Bombina bombina (European fire-bellied toad, mainland Europe), Bombina variegata (yellow-bellied toad, central and southern Europe), Bombina pachypus (Apennine yellow-bellied toad, Italy), Bombina orientalis (Oriental fire-bellied toad, Korea, northeastern China, and adjacent Russia), Bombina maxima (Yunnan fire-bellied toad, Yunnan and possibly Myanmar), and Bombina microdeladigitora (Hubei fire-bellied toad, southern China provinces).

This space is for the study, care, and appreciation of the Bombina species.

I personally have 6 individuals right now, and I’m attempting a captive-breeding program.
