ORNATE HORNED TOAD (Ceratophrys ornata)  -  ©American Museum of Natural History This frog is nicknamed the Pac-Man frog because of its enormous mouth and insatiable appetite.  It will attempt to swallow anything that moves close to its wide mouth, even if it suffocates in the process. They are a sit-and-wait ambush predator and hide well-disguised on the ground or in leaf litter. Ornate horned frogs can swallow birds, insects, mice, or even other frogs whole. This species can be found in Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil.
