They often display their 'disappointed face' when disturbed and have been seen to grumble slightly and raise their eyebrows in more extreme cases, say when hunted for their curly wigs.
Bombinatoridae are often referred to as Fire-bellied toads because of their addiction to fresh chilli and wassabi sauce.
The animal will arch its back and limbs to expose it self, and may turn over on its back and burp loudly.

 Bombinatoridae
Ford and Cannatella (1993) formalized this by resurrecting the family Bombinatoridae for Barbourula and Bombina.
They considered Bombinatoridae to be the node-based name for the most recent common ancestor of Bombina and Barbourula, and all its descendants.
Synapomorphies of Bombinatoridae are an expanded flange of the quadratojugal and the presence of endochondral ossifications in the hyoid plate; these are not parahyoid bones, which are also present (Cannatella, 1985; Clarke, 1987).

Paris, A--Zool., 131: 1-64, and Dubois, 1987, Alytes, 6: 56-68, for discussion of family-group nomenclature (in the sense of Bombinatoridae being included within Discoglossidae).
Monogr., 7: 94-117, subsequently recognized the Bombinatoridae for Bombina and Barbourula, but retained Alytes in a putatively monophyletic Discoglossidae (now Alytidae) with Discoglossus.
Hist., 297: 1-370, provided further molecular evidence that Bombinatoridae is the sister taxon of Alytidae.

 Toad information - Search.com
Toad can refer to a number of species of amphibians.
It predominantly refers to the "true toads", those of the family Bufonidae, but a number of other species in other families of Amphibia are commonly referred to as toads as well, including those of the families Bombinatoridae, Discoglossidae, Pelobatidae, Rhinophrynidae, Scaphiopodidae, and some species of Microhylidae.
This is because the characteristics that are popularly used to distinguish frogs from toads are not quite the same as those used for scientific classification.
