  "summary": "The Oriental fire-bellied toad is a small, semi-aquatic amphibian from East Asia, recognized by its green and black back and its vivid red-and-black underside. When threatened, it arches its body to flash the bright belly, warning predators that its skin is toxic. These hardy, popular pet toads commonly live 12 to 15 years, sometimes longer.",
