Did you know?


Some Amazon villagers wear high leather boots called botas escuerzas to repel attacks by the highly territorial Amazon horned frog.

These amphibians are called an army or colony's when they are in big groups together, there diet is carnivore,When anything smaller than their own bodies happens by, they spring from the mud and swallow their prey whole, locking it in their jaws with their sharp teeth.
Females are usually larger than males and also they have a nickname......
Pac-Man frogs, because of there humongous mouths.

Thanks again for reading.
