Wikipedia.org
The Argentine Horned Frog (Ceratophrys ornata), also known as the Argentine wide-mouthed Frog or Pacman frog, is the most common species of Horned Frog, from the rain forests of Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. A voracious eater, it will attempt to swallow anything that moves close to its wide mouth, such as insects, small birds and mammals, lizards and other frogs, even if it would suffocate in the process.
Feeding
Horned frogs hunt by remaining motionless, and waiting for prey. Anything that can fit in their mouths, and some things that can't, is prey. In the wild their typical diet would include rodents such as mice, small lizards and small snakes, as well as large spiders and insects such as locusts.
