Incurablog: A Naturalist At Work

23 Jan 2012

This is Cranwell’s Horned Frog, also known as the Pacman Frog due to its gigantic mouth.  Native to South America (I snapped this one at the zoo) it has rows of rear facing bony projections along its upper jaw which give it a death grip on prey.  Growing up to 8 inches in length, adults can eat a fully grown rat.
It reminds me of something from a Hayao Miyazaki film.
