Pipa pipa
The appearance of the Surinam toad is somewhat like a leaf. It is almost completely flat, and is colored in a mottled brown. Their feet are broadly webbed with the front toes having small, star-like appendages. Sizes of close to 20 cm (8 in), have been recorded, even though 10-13 cm (4-5 in) is much more of a typical size. The Surinam toad has minute eyes, no teeth and no tongue.
It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical swamps, swamps, freshwater marshes, and intermittent freshwater marches.
