Bullfrog

Rana catesbeiana

Description:

Bullfrogs will eat anything that fits in their mouth and they have big mouths. This one was eating a bat when I found it with just the wings hanging out its mouth. They were introduced in the southwest and are a real problem They're eating many of the local frogs, small snakes, tarantulas, baby turtles and even scorpions.

Thanks Aaron. And this was just an average sized bullfrog, not one of the really big ones.
