Congolese giant toads may have mastered a way to fake out would-be predators looking for a tasty burger-sized snack. With a hiss and a butt-up posture that displays their backside, the toads look — and sound — remarkably like venomous vipers that slither through the same habitat.
With their look-alike bodies and hissing noises, Congolese giant toads (one shown, left) might be mimicking Gaboon vipers (head shown at right) that share their territory.
