## Abstract The lifespan of herbivorous __Rana pipiens__ larvae is ∼3 months, while that of carnivorous __Ceratophrys ornata__ larvae is only about 2 weeks. During metamorphic climax, the larval gut shortens dramatically, especially in __R. pipiens__, and its luminal epithelium is replaced by adult

Larvae of Ceratophrys ornata are carnivorous, have relatively short digestive tracts and continue to feed during metamorphic climax, in contrast to those of more typical herbivorous anuran larvae. The present study describes both histological and histochemical changes in the stomach, small intestine
