Example:
This is the Asian Fire-bellied Toad.
He is not actually a toad in that he spends most of his life in water. He is not a dry-land creature like his toad cousins. He has webbed feet, too! He also uses his orange underbelly as defense against predators . When he feels threatened, he turns over and suprises them.
