    Naaaah, that's nothing, when I was re-searching pacs, I found, (now, I'm serious... lol) a photo of a fat, horned lizard (gotta admit, KINDA looked like a pac, well, a brown pac with a stubby tail and scaled... lol) labled brown ornate pacman... wish I could remember the site, so I could post a link to the article!

    I saw that too. I've seen a lot of pics that were labled horned frogs thet were actually the horned lizard also known by its alias the horney toad which could be the net catagorizing the photos wrong because of the word "Toad".

    Yeah, that's right, when someone thinks there called a horned toad, it's not very far for them to suspect that they are a "horned frog" and from there a pacman... guess most of these people have never heard of Google? Or Wikipedia for that matter... lol

    Haha totally agree! I haven't looked up pics on ornate frogs, but have on other frogs. Here is a picture I found the other day titled Wood frog (Rana sylvatica). I was like, "You've got to be kidding me" lol.

    Strange, the dude who took it Dumpy Stock Photos, Dumpy Stock Photography, Dumpy Stock Images : Shutterstock.com seems to know what it is. Could be the fact that "Wood" and "Frog" both appear in his keywords for the image caused a breakdown somewhere.

    Wow! Another failure. That's a White's Tree Frog. Atleast it definetly looks like one. Can't see the folds that usually go over their ears.

    Probably.....it's probably the search engines that get confused and show pics that have no relavence to what your looking for. For example, when I've typed up Wood frog or rana sylvatica, I had results that showed pictures of Wooden frogs. It's kinda funny if you think about it.
