Ornate Horned Frog.

We discover something new about one species of frog a few days back. We were doing some cleaning outside the house, arranging all the flowers and such... I was trying to empty one of the vase since the flower is already dead. I found out something strange moving and its seems responding to the stick i hold in my hand. I can't barely see what it is because it was all covered with dirt and its all wet.

I told my hubby to look at it. It happen to be an ugly weird frog and i never seen something like that before. It's live underneath the vase and i am wondering that how the hell did it's go and bury itself.

We told Wenn when we were having a conversation with her on cam 2 days after that and she make a research on it on the internet. The picture below has a few things similar to what we saw but it is not exactly the same.

Hiding Places
(In the wild, ornates bury themselves in the leaf litter; in captivity, we have to provide them with something they can hide under. You will also find that they will manage to half bury themselves under the clumps of moss and sprigs of artificial plants when they are out of the water. Place live or artificial plants so that they overhang the water saucer; this will increase the frog's sense of security and reduce stress.)
