| A green poison arrow frog. |

I think this is a different frog than the one in the previous photo. There
were several of them in the display.
|
|
| This is the same frog as in the last photo. |
|
| A fire-bellied toad, Bombina orientalis. These are unusually aquatic toads who like to spend their time floating around in the water. |
|
| More toads. There were several of them in the tank at the zoo. |
|
| I think this toad was trying to intimidate me by showing me his orange belly. Like many brightly-colored frogs and toads, these toads excrete a poison from their skin. |
|
| This toad was labelled as a "Sonoran Toad", but my amphibian field guide calls this a "Colorado River Toad" instead. Whatever. It's a large toad that is native to desert areas in Arizona. |
