This 21 October 2019 video says about itself:
It is well known that some harmless animals mimic dangerous animals to ward off predators.
Eg, the Brazilian galliwasp lizard poses like a toxic millipede. And the zebra shark can mimic a highly poisonous banded sea snake.
Such posing is called Batesian mimicry. But the Congolese giant toad takes Batesian mimicry to a new level. According to a paper in the Journal of Natural History, the toad not only transform into a very good copy of a Gaboon Viper. It also tries to mimic the hiss the deadly snake make before an attack. The toad also postures so that its front limbs aren’t visible — making it look more snake-like. The Congolese giant toad are found in locations inhabited by the Gaboon viper. The Gaboon viper has the longest fangs and carries the most venom.
