Description:
The Desert Horned Frog is an amphibian species found in the dry, sandy regions of South America, particularly in Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. This toad is easily recognized by the large 'horns' above its eyes, giving it an imposing appearance. It is primarily terrestrial and often hides in the sand or under dead leaves to protect itself from the daytime heat. This frog is a voracious predator, using its large mouth to capture prey as large as small mammals or other amphibians. It is primarily nocturnal and waits until nightfall to hunt.

Photography tips:
Photograph the Desert Horned Frog in its natural environment, preferably at dusk when it becomes active. Use soft, diffused lighting to avoid disturbing the animal. Use a macro lens to capture the details of its 'horns' and textured skin. Be discreet and photograph from a distance, ensuring not to disturb its natural habitat.
