Additional information:

The horned frog is an amphibian. The so-called amphibious means that the frog needs both water and land in its life. The tadpoles of the horned frog must live in water, and the adults need to live in a humid environment near water. This lifestyle was formed in the process of biological evolution of the horned frog. The horned frog is a transitional group formed in the evolution from living in water to living on land.

The body color of horned frogs is a protective color, usually showing a color similar to the environment, so as not to be discovered by enemies and thus protect themselves. Horned frogs in the bushes are mainly green with stripes. For example, the wood horned frog is green, the spiny-breasted horned frog is brown, and the body color of bullfrogs becomes lighter in bright environments.

Horned frogs are amphibians. Tadpoles live in water, while adults live mainly on land, but can also enter water. Therefore, wild horned frogs can eat on land and in water.

Males are smaller, about 10CM at most; females are larger, about 15CM or so.

The male horned frog has soul pads, which are actually small black spots, growing on the inside of the inner toes of its two front feet.

Male horned frogs will croak when they grow to a certain size, and of course, this will be accompanied by a vocal sac.

Gently pressing the abdomen of a male frog with your hand can also stimulate it to call, while female frogs will hardly call or only make low guttural sounds.

When a male horned frog grows to a certain size, soul pads will grow on the inside of the inner toes of its two front feet. In fact, they are small black spots. This is more accurate. Also, when male horned frogs grow to a certain size, they will call, and of course, they will have a vocal sac. But I don't know if this is accurate. Some people in the forum say that female horned frogs also call.

You can only tell the difference when the frog grows up to a certain size. If it is big enough, you can see whether it has a nuptial pad. You can't tell the difference when it is a small horned frog.
