Cranwell’s horned frog, Ceratophrys cranwelli, also known as the Pacman frog, is a terrestrial frog native to Argentina.

The Colorado river toad,
Bufo alvanus, is a terrestrial frog native to the American Southwest and northern Mexico. It has bufotoxins, which make it venomous.
The Golden mantella, Mantella aurantiaca, is a terrestrial frog native to Madagascar. Although it is not toxic, it looks that way because it mimics other toxic species’ coloration.

The Aruba island rattlesnake,
Crotalus unicolor, is a venomous pitviper subspecies only found on the island of Aruba. It is critically endangered, with less than 230 adults in the wild.

The lace monitor,
Varanus varius, also known as a tree goanna, is Australia’s second largest lizard, and one of the largest lizards on earth. It is somewhat venomous.
