The Brazilian horned frog, often called a Pac-Man frog in the pet trade, thrives in South America rain forests. These heavy-bodied, round amphibians sit partially buried in leaf litter, waiting for prey to pass. They use their wide mouth and powerful jaws to ambush and eat insects, rodents, and other frogs, often swallowing prey close to their own size.
