Horned frogs, also known as horned toads, are a group of lizards belonging to the family Phrynosomatidae. They are characterized by their flattened bodies and distinctive horn-like projections on their heads. These lizards are primarily found in arid regions of the Americas, particularly in the southwestern United States and parts of Mexico. These frogs are known for their unique defense mechanisms, including their ability to change color and their impressive camouflage. They primarily feed on insects and small invertebrates, using their wide mouths to capture prey. Horned frogs are also popular in the pet trade due to their unusual appearance and docile nature.
