They are also known as South American horned frogs as well as Pacman frogs due to their characteristic round shape, horned brows, and large mouth, reminiscent of the video game character Pac-Man.

The average lifespan of a Ceratophrys frog in the wild varies between 1 and 4 years.

In captivity and as pets, depending on diet and care, they may live up to 15 years.

Although these frogs can swallow animals almost half their size, they sometimes attempt to eat things larger than they are.

Their teeth, as well as bony projections in the front of the jaw, can make it difficult for them to release prey after taking it in their mouth, in some cases leading to death by choking.
