Artist's notes:

ornate horned frog thumb Unbelievable. That's my first thought whenever I see these bizarre frogs. They look, to me, like a regular frog that someone has tried to inflate with a pump. This was one drawing of a five part series of frogs I illustrated in 2005. The color was added in 2007. It remains a favorite of mine.

Information about the Ornate Horned Frog:

The Ornate Horned Frog, also known as the Argentine Horned frog or Pac-man frog, is native to the lush rainforests of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. This large frog is a voracious eater and will attempt to eat anything that moves close to it's mouth. It will eat birds, insects, lizards, and other frogs including ones of the same species. The Ornate Horned Frog's mouth accounts for roughly half of the entire amphibian's size. They are easy animals to keep and make very good pets.
