About this species
Pseudis paradoxa, known as the paradoxical frog or shrinking frog, is a species of hylid frog from South America. Its name refers to the very large—up to 27 cm (11 in) long—tadpole (the world's longest), which in turn "shrinks" during metamorphosis into an ordinary-sized frog, only about a quarter or third of its former length. Although the recordholder was a tadpole in Amapá that belonged to this species, others in the genus Pseudis also have large tadpoles and ordinary-sized adults.

La rana patito (Pseudis paradoxa) es un anfibio anuro que habita en el este de Sudamérica. En la mayoría de las especies de ranas, el renacuajo es de menor tamaño que el adulto, pero en este caso ocurre al revés. Los renacuajos de esta rana alcanzan un gran tamaño, pueden llegar hasta los 25 cm de longitud, mientras que la rana adulta a lo sumo mide 7 cm, de allí el nombre "paradoxa". Vive en lagunas, lagos, pantanos y se alimenta de invertebrados acuáticos.
