Ceratophryidae
The family Ceratophryidae contains 7 genera, including the genus Ceratophrys, which have huge heads with enormous gapes and are sit-and-wait predators that mimic dried leaves. Another interesting ceratophryid, Telmatobius culeus (Lake Titicaca frog) lives at a very high elevation in Peru. This frog is extremely wrinkled in appearance due to extra skin for increased surface area and increased cutaneous respiration, in order to be more efficient in an oxygen poor environment. This family is found in South America.
