In Lake Titicaca dwells a giant frog...

High in the mountains, over 12,000 feet up on, between Peru and Bolivia, is the highest big lake in the world.

It is called Lake Titicaca.
And in Lake Titicaca is a giant frog.

It’s called the Lake Titicaca frog.

Who saw that coming?

This giant frog has big folds of skin, which help it get more oxygen in its system. They also makes the Lake Titicaca frog look pretty wacky!

Fun Fact: The frog's scientific name is Telmatobius coleus: “aquatic scrotum”.
