I had a list of the various journals "out there" in the "scientific world" that had papers on Horned Frogs. Too bad there isn't a way to get them on this website so people could see what research has and is being done as far as Horned Frogs are concerned. I know copy rights and such. if there was a way for the authors to ok putting them here where you couldn't copy them I think it would be great. When I find the list of journals I'll list them.
That would be awesome, I think they are doing more now because they have really became a popular frog to have has a pet. I see them everywere. One thing I have noticed that I would like to know why is if you watch really closely at night when they are awake the tip of there horn seems to move abit. Has anyone else ever noticed this? Im not crazy either, if you seriously look very closely they move. And its just the tip, I notice it on my big female Cranwelli.
Thanks Monster for the observation. If I am not mistaken one of the Horned Frogs uses one of their toes to catch prey. I went to a website and found a list of journals. Here they are: Bibliotheca Herpetologica
Chelonian Conservation and Biology ( I know this is turtles & tortoises)
Contemporary Herpetology
Copeia
Herpetological Conservation and Biology
Herpetological Monographs
Herpetological Review
Journal of Herpetology
That's the way they are spelled. The first one may not be a United States publication
I am really getting ticked off here. I just listed all the journals and the stupid thing isn't working.
It seems to be working now, finally. I just went on You tub.com and they have a video of a Horned Frog wiggling it back toes to catch prey. Interesting.
I checked out a couple of the journal on the list. I am kind of out in the woods here but there is a university near by. I'll check out the library and see what they subscribe to.
You're right, the cornuta does to attract and to catch other frogs
Not all frog related articles will necessarily be published in an herpetological journal. Try going to Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com) and typing in the species. Not all articles are available for free, but you can learn a lot just from the abstracts. You can also see what journals the articles were published in which will help you expand your list.
Thanks Colleen/Jarrod for the information. Went to google and found a lot of good info.
