Wikipedia
bombina
The fire-bellied toads are a group of six species of small frogs (most species typically no longer than 1.6 in or 4.1 cm) belonging to the genus Bombina. 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' reputedly foul taste. The other parts of the toads' skins are green or dark brown. When confronted with a potential predator, these toads commonly engage in an unkenreflex, Unken- being the combining form of Unke, German for fire-bellied toad. In the unkenreflex, the toad arches its back, raising its front and back legs to display the aposematic coloration of its ventral side.

bombina
Bombina is a type of small, brightly colored frog that belongs to the family Bombinatoridae. These semi-aquatic frogs are native to Europe and Asia, spanning from central Europe to Siberia and Vietnam. They have unique aposematic coloration, typically with a black, brown, or gray top side and bright yellow, red, or orange underside to warn predators of their toxicity. Their unique warning coloration is only shown when the species feels threatened. They are also known for their mode of defense and distinctive mating call which is similar to a bumblebee, earning them the name "Fire-bellied toads."
