    The document discusses two types of toads found only in a specific region. The pebble toad camouflages itself to look like a pebble and escapes danger by rolling away from predators. The waterfall toad lives in trees and has strong arms for climbing, but cannot jump far for escape, so it escapes danger by dropping from trees when threatened by snakes.
