Like most members of Ceratophrys generally, are often considered Pacman frogs because of their resemblance to the popular video game character of the same name. The backs of these frogs are usually dark green and brown coloration, although albino variants with orange and yellow back even exist. The model allows to camouflage dark color as the animal burrows and waits for its prey.  In the case of extreme temperatures, Cranwell frogs enter a period of aestivation, the development of a thick protective layer of the skin to retain moisture and aid in breathing. When estivation is complete, the frog uses its front legs and rear to help remove the protective layer. In many cases, the frog uses the jaws to pull the skin on the back, often eat the skin in the process.
