Bite force in the horned frog (Ceratophrys cranwelli) with implications for extinct giant frogs [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractOf the nearly 6,800 extant frog species, most have weak jaws that play only a minor role in prey capture. South American horned frogs (Ceratophrys) are a notable exception. Aggressive and able to consume vertebrates their own size, these “hopping heads” use a vice-like grip of their jaws to restrain and immobilize prey.

Hormonal induction of spawning in 4 species of frogs by coinjection with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist and a dopamine antagonist [PDF]
Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2010 Background It is well known that many anurans do not reproduce easily in captivity. Some methods are based on administration of mammalian hormones such as human chorionic gonadotropin, which are not effective in many frogs.

Specific Dynamic Effect in the Horned Frog Ceratophrys cranwelli [PDF]
Copeia, 1999 Animals exhibit an increase in resting metabolic rate after feeding while they process the ingested food, a response that has been termed the specific dynamic effect. This postprandial rise in metabolism is due in part to the cost of processing absorbed nutrients, especially amino acids, and is particularly pronounced in animals such as large snakes ...

Proceedings of the West Virginia Academy of ScienceCranwell’s horned frogs (Ceratophrys cranwelli), also known as Pacman frogs, are commonly kept as pets in the United States due to their basic husbandry needs and charismatic appearance. Secondary sexual traits usually appear in frogs after sexual maturity, which occurs at about a year old in C. cranwelli.
