Brazilian Horned Frog
This amazing frog is found in the Amazon Rainforest of South America. The Brazilian Horned frog, Ceratophrys aurita, has a distinct appearance compared to other amphibians. Evolution has hidden this creature well, disguising it as a leaf to blend into its surroundings.The frog can grow to a large size, reaching a length of twenty centimeters. It buries itself in leaves so only its head is visible and when anything walks past, it’s quickly snapped up and eaten. It is a very aggressive animal and local villagers often wear large leather boots to protect their feet from the powerful bites. Despite their aggressive nature, some people keep these frogs as pets.
