Budgett frogs are found in the Amazon Basin of South America, primarily in Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay. They are semi-aquatic and are often found in shallow, slow-moving water. They are also known to burrow into the mud to escape extreme temperatures and dry conditions.
These frogs are also called "hippo frogs" due to their appearance, which resembles a miniature hippopotamus. They have a round body, short legs, and a wide mouth. Budgett frogs can grow up to 4-5 inches in length and can live up to 10-15 years in captivity.
Budgett frogs are carnivorous and primarily feed on insects, small rodents, and other small animals. They have a unique hunting style, where they wait patiently for prey to come close and then ambush them with a powerful bite.
