Ornate horned frog, Ceratophys ornata
large flat toothed frogs and are usually very colourful. They are green with dark red to black markings along their backs. Females are slightly larger than males and may weigh up to one pound (480 g). They measure about inches (14 cm) from snout to vent. They have vomerine teeth (teeth on the roof of the mouth), as well as the outside of the jaw. These frogs are native to Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Brazil, where they burrow into leafy, muddy vegetation of the tropical forest floor. They hibernate for up to six months in dry conditions and wait for rain.
