Toads showing the symmetrically arranged markings on the dorsal/ back part. The markings serve as a defensive feature making them more frightening than they actually are. The markings together with the brown-gray color allow for blending with their environment (camouflaging) to avoid detection by predators.
The darker dorsal part makes the toad not to be seen above the water.
