Long considered to be the “Holy Grail” of Horned frog collectors and enthusiasts worldwide, the Brazilian horned frog or Ceratophrys aurita has gained an almost mythological status.

Little is currently known about the Brazilian horned frog or Ceratophrys aurita. It is reportedly the largest of the Horned frog family and occurs in a wide range of colors and patterns ranging from dark green to light the beige to reddish-brown; with the colors mixed and matched into a seemingly endless combination of color and pattern. As a rain forest dweller, Brazilian horned frog or Ceratophrys aurita spends its time buried in the leaf litter of the forest floor waiting in ambush for its next meal.

Females are the larger, attaining a body length (and often width) of 8 to 10 inches. They are said by some to reach a length of 12 inches. Males are the smaller being 5 to 7 inches in length.

In keeping with the reputation of these frogs for being biters, the Brazilian horned frog can, will, and does bite. To this habit, as they leap forward, they add a disconcerting bark. In addition to their strong jaws they have teeth.
