    There are several documentaries that feature clips of the African bullfrog, such "Life" (the version narrated by David Attenborough, not Oprah Winfrey) and "Battle of the Animal Sexes". You can view the clips on YouTube. These frogs do deserve a show of their own

    Hey Terry (long time, no see)!

    Yeah, I've searched as well. All I could find was a sort video of a Pacman Frog hunting in a swamp-ish area. The video quality wasn't very good, and I probably couldn't find the clip to save my life....

    I don't know. Seems like there are plenty of clips for Pyxie frogs, budgett frogs, "chubby" frogs (forgot their proper name), and several other types of swamp/water type fat frogs. Seems like there should be several for Pacman Frogs....

    I think the problem is that people find Pacman frogs and their hunting style to be boring. They are the Trap Door Spider of the frog world except I've seen several videos of actual Trap Door Spiders. Apparently according to the Manchester Zoo they were discovered by Charlse Darwin. I believe the species he discovered was the Ornate Horned Frog. I've seen a small clip of a C. Cornuta burrowed in the forest floor of the Yusuni and that's about it.
