Batrachophagous is a rarely used word that refers to animals which feed on frogs, toads and other amphibians. However, there are other synonyms to this word such as Herpetophage, Amphibivoire, and Anuranivore. Herpetophage is a combination of the Greek words "herpeton" which means reptile and "phagein" which means to eat. Amphibivoire is a French word that means amphibian eater while Anuranivore is a Latin term that directly translates to frog eater. These words are useful in describing species that primarily feed on amphibians as it gives a more specific and accurate description of their dietary habits.
