The long-nosed horned frog (Megophrys nasuta) is a master of disguise — its leaf-like body and long pointed snout make it nearly invisible on the forest floor! 🍂🐸

Here are the key facts:

Appearance: Has a long, pointed “nose”, sharp ridges over the eyes, and a brown, angular body that perfectly mimics a dead leaf.

Size: One of the largest horned frogs — grows up to 12 cm (4.7 in) long.

Habitat: Found in rainforests of Southeast Asia, especially Malaysia, Borneo, and Sumatra, near clear forest streams.

Diet: Carnivorous, feeding on insects, worms, and sometimes smaller frogs.

Behavior: Ambush predator — stays perfectly still on the ground, waiting for prey to come close before striking.

Conservation: Populations are declining due to habitat loss and deforestation, though it’s not yet endangered.

✨ Fun fact: Its body shape, color, and even the “vein-like” patterns on its skin resemble a dried leaf so closely that it can fool predators and prey alike!
