The '''[[Brazilian Horned Frog]]''' (''[[Brazilian Horned Frog|'''Ceratophrys aurita''']])'' is part of the Pacman genus of frogs, ''[[Ceratophrys]]'' and can live up to 15 years in captivity. It was last classified as of [[IUCN|Least Concern (LC)]] on the [[IUCN Red List]] when it was last evaluated on 11 June 2020. As well as being described as a Pacman frog it is colloquially referred to as the Brazilian Horned Frog and Ornate Horned Frog. Adult Brazilian Horned Frogs range in size from 5.5in to almost 9in making it one of the largest ''[[Ceratophryidae]]'' is carnivorous as well as [[cannibalistic]]. It used ambush tactics and has been observed eating insects, lizards, snakes, rodents, and other frogs. ('''[[Brazilian Horned Frog|Full article...]])'''
'''''[[Terang Boelan]]''''' is a 1937 film from the [[Dutch East Indies]] (now Indonesia). Written by [[Saeroen]], directed by [[Albert Balink]], and starring [[Rd Mochtar]], [[Roekiah]] and E. T. Effendi, the film follows two lovers who elope after one is nearly forced to marry an [[opium]] smuggler. Shot in the Indies and Singapore and partially inspired by the 1936 Hollywood film ''[[The Jungle Princess]]'', ''Terang Boelan'' was aimed at [[native Indonesians|native]] audiences and included ''[[kroncong]]'' music and several actors from Balink's previous work, ''[[Pareh]]'' (1936). It was a commercial success in both the Indies and abroad (under the title ''Full Moon''), earning 200,000 [[Straits dollar]]s in [[British Malaya]]. This success revived the faltering domestic film industry and inspired films aimed at [[Malay people|Malay]] audiences in Malaya, creating a formula of songs, beautiful scenery and romance that was followed for decades afterwards. Modern critical reception of the film, which has been [[lost film|lost]] since at least the 1970s, has generally been positive. The Indonesian film historian [[Misbach Yusa Biran]] described it as a turning point in the history of Indonesian cinema for its catalytic effect on the industry's growth.

Also known as "Leucs", "Bumblebee Poison Dart Frogs", "Yellow-headed Poison Frogs", and "Yellow-banded Dart Frogs", ''Dendrobates leucomelas'' is a [[diurnal]], [[semi-arboreal]] species endemic to the northern-most region of Brazil, as well as Colombia, Guyana, and Venezuela. Its species name combines "leuco-" (meaning "white") with "-melas" (meaning black or dark). This misnomer is rumored to have resulted from the white and black appearance of museum specimens which lost their yellow pigmentation when preserved in alcohol, though may also simply refer to the typical pattern of alternating yellow and black bands.

    Also known as "Leucs", "Bumblebee Poison Dart Frogs", "Yellow-headed Poison Frogs", and "Yellow-banded Dart Frogs", Dendrobates leucomelas is a diurnal, semi-arboreal species endemic to the northern-most region of Brazil, as well as Colombia, Guyana, and Venezuela. Its species name combines "leuco-" (meaning "white") with "-melas" (meaning black or dark). This misnomer is rumored to have resulted from the white and black appearance of museum specimens which lost their yellow pigmentation when preserved in alcohol, though may also simply refer to the typical pattern of alternating yellow and black bands.
