Bullfrog "Rana catesbeiana"

The bullfrog is a large species in the family Ranidae; it can grow to a length of 20 cm (7.87 inches) with a weight of up to 750 g (1.65 pound), the largest frog in North America.[4] Females are typically larger than males. They are generally varying shades of green or brown, with dark brown, dark green, or black blotching and a yellow or white underside.

Bullfrogs will eat various types of animals, such as, insects, fish, snakes, birds and occasionally other frogs. Bullfrogs' hunting style is "sit and wait"; they will sit and wait for their prey to pass by, and then in a flash, will grab it with their tongue and eat it.

Hi Lise,

You made him look darn near as good as a prince. Gary

Lucky to get this on the ground. Usually they jump into water and are gone.I see you spent the time to get good focus on the eye.
Good one Lise.
