Why the Silent Valley torrent toad is considered attractive?

 The Silent Valley torrent toad is a beautifully coloured toad. It is brick red, with bright orange throat, chest, and belly. It has small tubercles on its head and flanks, and rough skin. It is not very agile, and can only hop for short distances. This toad is found in the Silent Valley in Kerala, and not much is known about it, because it is a rare species.

Silent Valley itself is a mysterious place, of dense virgin rainforest and deep gorges that is the home of many rare and unusual plants and animals not found anywhere else in the world.
