The tarantulas have been recorded attacking similar frog species to C. ventrimaculata, but have been never recorded attacking C. ventrimaculata by mistake. The movements of the frog do not stimulate the host tarantulas to attack and there is an unknown chemical present in the frog's skin that acts as a cue to the tarantulas that this species is ...
A new species of frog has been officially confirmed, close to 80 years after its existence was first theorized. The frog, Rana kauffeldi, is a type of leopard frog, and the process of establishing ...
In captivity, C. cranwelli and C. ornata are the most popular species, [4] along with the "fantasy frog", a captive-produced hybrid between C. cranwelli and C. cornuta. These frogs can live in a terrarium with a floor area 8-10 times the size of the frog. [ 4 ]
