Just ugly and beautiful

  In tiny small ditches you can find a tiny little warty creature known as yellow bellied toad. The belly side is screaming yellow, but the back side is brown and warty and thus it's easy to miss one when you walk by. One interesting feature in this creature is its heart-shaped pupil. When you catch one, you can see the so called unkenreflex, the poor thing arching it self to show as much as possible of the bright underside and telling I'm toxic, don't eat me. Just a lovely little animal.
