Native to the damp, humid forests of South America, Pacman frogs are known as horned frogs because the top of their head comes to a point over each of their eyes, as if they had two horns. With their large mouths and triangular-shaped heads, they are sometimes called Pacman frogs after Pac-Man, the popular video game character they resemble.
These frogs are not only charismatic looking, but they also behave similarly to the character they are named for. They use their giant maw to eat virtually anything that will fit. These frogs thrive in warm, humid, environments. They spend the vast majority of their time hiding beneath the damp leaf litter of dense forests and rainforests. If their environment grows to dry for their liking, they simply bury themselves and wait for rain to come wet the place up a bet. They are commonly found in rainforest and tropical swamp environments.
