ALIEN! And I don’t mean the frog I mean JJ. He’s a SUPERHUMAN at spotting wildlife.
As weird as it looks, the Surinam toad is perfectly camouflaged to live an aquatic life on muddy river bottoms in rainforest and flooded forest areas in South America. It looks like a lump of leaf litter rather than living wildlife! The Surinam toad can measure between 4 and 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters) long, but it doesn’t look much like a meal, so predators may pass it by.
The Surinam toad is an ambush hunter, lying patiently in wait for unsuspecting prey to pass by. The toad eats mostly crustaceans, small fish, worms, and other invertebrates. When the Surinam toad senses movement with its star-tipped fingers, it lunges forward and eats its prey in one gulp. The toad does not have teeth or a tongue, so its large mouth helps it swallow food whole.
