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...]])'''
A '''[[dwarf planet]]''' is a [[Astronomical object|celestial body]] [[orbit]]ing the [[Sun]] that is massive enough to be spherical as a result of its own [[gravitation|gravity]] but has not [[Clearing the neighbourhood|cleared its neighbouring region]] of [[planetesimal]]s and is not a [[natural satellite|satellite]]. They are smaller than [[planet]]s, but more massive than [[Small Solar System body|small solar system bodies]]. The term was adopted in 2006 by the [[International Astronomical Union]] (IAU) as a result of the increase in discoveries of [[trans-Neptunian object]]s that rivaled [[Pluto]] in size, and finally precipitated by the discovery of an even more massive object, [[Eris (dwarf planet)|Eris]]. The IAU currently recognizes five dwarf planets&mdash;[[Ceres (dwarf planet)|Ceres]] ''(pictured)'', Pluto, [[Haumea (dwarf planet)|Haumea]], [[Makemake (dwarf planet)|Makemake]], and Eris. It is suspected that at least another 40 known objects in the [[Solar System]] are dwarf planets, but the number might be as high as 2,000. The 2006 definition has been both praised and criticized, and has been disputed by some scientists. ('''[[Dwarf planet|more...]]''')

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.

The [[book frontispiece|frontispiece]] to '''''[[A Memoir of Jane Austen]]''''', a [[biography]] of the author [[Jane Austen]] (1775–1817), written by her nephew James Edward Austen-Leigh and published 52 years after her death. Common to biographies written in the [[Victorian era]], it did not attempt to unreservedly tell the story of the author's life, but instead kept much private information from the public. The ''Memoir'' generated popular interest in the works of Jane Austen, which only a literary elite had read up until that point. The art for the frontispiece took some liberties with the [[:File:CassandraAusten-JaneAusten(c.1810) hires.jpg|original painting]], softening Austen's features in the Victorian style.

  • Poison Dart Frogs (Dendrobatidae) host a collection of more than 500 alkaloids, poisonous compounds, from their diet of insects. A specific protein, alkaloid binding globulin, is thought to transfer the toxins from the frog's blood and/or intestines to the skin to act as a chemical deterrent.

    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.
