Explanation:
I've never come across one of these, in flesh or otherwise, but there's a Wiki "Sonneur à ventre jaune": http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonneur_à_ventre_jaune – almost (but not quite) identical to the source term ;-)

Asker: You are right. It was a typo. Thank you.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  John Speese: I'm puzzled too where the "lezard" fits in. Could there be a typo or missing part to the source text? There is a great deal of difference between a lizard and a toad.
