Horned Frog (Ceratophrys cornuta) - Striking Amphibian with Unique Horn-like Features #1270175 (License: Personal Use)

The horned frog (Ceratophrys cornuta), also called the Surinam horned frog, features prominent cranial ridges resembling horns and a wide, gaping mouth ideal for ambush predation. Its cryptic coloration-mottled browns, greens, and yellows-blends seamlessly with leaf litter and forest floors in the Amazon Basin. Native to humid lowland forests across northern South America, it remains largely sedentary, burying itself partially in substrate to await prey.
