American Bullfrog

Description:

Large frog that was mainly green and brown. I was stunned by the particularly vibrant, orange eyes that this frog had.

Bullfrogs are often confused with Green Frogs as both types of frogs share many similar features. The main difference between Green Frogs and Bullfrogs is the location of the dorsolateral ridge. The dorsolateral ridge of Bullfrogs starts at the eye and hooks around the tympanum. In Green Frogs, the dorsolateral ridge runs down it's dorsal surface. Bullfrogs are also much larger than Green Frogs.

Habitat:

Spotted resting on a log in a small pond.
