My defence mechanism ENDANGERED
I can camouflage. When faced by Blast from the
danger, I can lighten or darken my past
skin to match my surroundings, so
predators cannot see me. I don’t like It is considered that
cold weather, so I sleep in burrows natterjack toads are true
through the winter. natives of Ireland, which they
colonized after the last ice
age, about eleven thousand
years ago.
Natterjack toads feed on insects, weevils,
moths, woodlice, snails, and worms.
On the brink of extinction Natterjack toads are disappearing due to
habitat loss, resulting from air pollution.
The growing human population is
encroaching upon my habitat, which is
loose sandy soil and heathlands. I also
like shallow water areas with warm and
sometimes brackish water. These have
also reduced now. To top it all, pollution
and acid rain are spoiling the water
areas where I live.
