角花蟾屬（学名：Ceratophrys），又名角蛙屬，無尾目角花蟾科，俗稱角蛙。產地為中南美洲。野生種除了捕食昆蟲、蝸牛外，也會以小型魚類、其他小型蛙類、老鼠等小型脊椎動物為食。 角蛙是全世界最常見也最好上手的基本款寵物蛙，食量不大但不會控制食慾，給多少就吃多少，所以飼養須注意別讓牠撐死。 目录 1 種 2 壽命 3 食性 4 圖片 5 參考文獻 種 角花蟾屬共有 8 種[1][2]： 鐘角蛙 Ceratophrys ornata (珍珠角蛙,阿根廷角蛙) (Bell, 1843) 南美角蛙 Ceratophrys cranwelli (綠角蛙,翡翠角蛙) (Barrio, 1980) 蘇利南角蛙 Ceratophrys cornuta (亞馬遜角蛙,霸王角蛙) (Linnaeus, 1758) 巴西角蛙 Ceratophrys aurita (Raddi, 1823) 哥倫比亞角蛙 Ceratophrys calcarata (Boulenger, 1890) 秘魯角蛙 Ceratophrys stolzmanni (Steindachner, 1882) 草原角蛙 Ceratophrys joazeirensis (Mercadal de Barrio, 1986) 厄瓜多角蛙 Ceratophrys testudo (Andersson, 1945) 壽命 野生角蛙的平均壽命約為 1~4 年，但在人工飼育環境下時，可長達 6~10 年甚至更長。 食性 角蛙是很貪食的掠食者，以昆蟲、小型哺乳動物、魚類、其他青蛙、小型爬蟲類為食[3]。一頭成年雌性鐘角蛙（雌性體型多半大於雄性）有能力吞下完全長成的老鼠。 角蛙也會以同類為食，通常是配偶，即使對方體型比自己來得大。因此在飼養時會建議飼主將角蛙個別分開來養。 雖然角蛙可以吞下接近自己體型的獵物，牠們有時也會嘗試吞下比自己體型還大的獵物。而角蛙的牙齒與其顎部構造使得牠們很難吐出口中的獵物，有時會因此窒息而死。 角蛙擁有十分有黏性的舌頭，可以用來捕捉獵物並將獵物拉入口中[4]。 大型角蛙個體的咬合力可與哺乳動物掠食者比擬[5]。 圖片 鐘角蛙 鐘角蛙 南美角蛙 蘇利南角蛙骨架 蘇利南角蛙骨架 參考文獻 ^ Frost, Darrel R.
