The Fantasy Pacman Frog (Ceratophrys hybrid) is a hybrid of Cranwell's Horned Frog (Ceratophrys cranwelli) and the Surinam Horned Frog (Ceratophrys cornuta). This hybridization was first achieved by Philippe de Vosjoli and Bob Mailloux.[1]


There is no geographical distribution for this species as it does not exist in nature, it exists solely in captivity where they can reach an age of 15 years.

Appearance

This Ceratophrys hybrid more closely resembles the Surinam Horned Frog than Cranwell's Horned Frog, however there are some characteristics from C. cranwelli that persist. The Fantasy frog has a shorter eye horn, a grayish rather than black chin, and has a much wider range of coloration that it inherits from the C. cranwelli parentage.


Males average approximately 3 inches in length whereas females are slightly larger at 4 inches.[1]

Reproduction

There has not been a verified report of a Fantasy Pacman breeding. Similar to most hybrids Fantasies are sterile.[1]
