What kind of frog?
« on: April 14, 2009, 06:46:02 AM »
Does anyone know what kind of frog?  I'm sure this is one that has provided tadpoles this spring  ::)  Cold enough that I was able to "pet" it.  The reaction was to close the eyes & hunch up.

He kind of looks like a bull frog. But too Green?  Maybe a early spring color and will turn brownish/Grey for summer?

The fold of skin running from the eye to above and behind the ear says it's a bull frog and the ear being the same size as the eye says it's a female.   In the male the ear is bigger than the eye.

That what I kind of thought, too.  I'll be relocating her to a local park that has a pond & a big bog area this afternoon.  Hopefully she will do fine there.

I didn't import it as it showed up on it's own & probably got big on my mosquito fish.  I was wondering why my mosquito fish population was down.

Yes, that is a bullfrog.  I lost my huge resident bull frog this winter (found him after the pond was thawing from the ice storm) , I'm sure another will takes its place.  I know they will eat anything that will fit into their mouth, but I loved sitting out on the deck and listening to him sing.

The ones here sing LOUDLY!!  It gets really LOUD if 3 or more are out there!!! o(:-)  My DH thinks the neighbors may start complaining!! I want to see the Dog Warden come chase my Bullfrogs!!!

Kat, I cant blame no baby fish on the Bullfrogs - I put a 4inch catfish in my pond last spring - I had caught him at the local lake!!  He is a whopping 12 inchs from eating all the Bullfrog tadpoles and baby fish!!  Keeps my fish population low. Anything over an inch long is safe - well except from Herons!!
