Rana catesbeiana
The dorsal surface of the bullfrog has an olive-green basal color, either plain or with a mottling and banding of grayish-brown. The ventral surface is off-white blotched with yellow or gray. There is often a marked contrast in color between the green upper lip and the pale lower lip. The eyes are prominent with brown irises and horizontal almond-shaped pupils. The tympani (eardrums) are easily seen and the dorsolateral folds of skin end close to them. The limbs are blotched or banded with gray. The forelegs are short and sturdy and the hind legs long. The hands are not webbed, but the feet have webbing between the digits with the exception of the fourth toe.

Yeah. Easy to do, I expect.
Thanks, Nate! I fixed that. Definitely not the missions I had intended. I posted some snakes that day as well and I think I became click happy on the reptile missions :-)
Sorry. I was unclear. It looks like its in a mission called "Reptiles of the Eastern United States". Perhaps just an errant finger tap on the phone?
Sorry meant a ? Not a ! Lol
Nate, where are you showing it listed as a reptile! Shows I have it as amphibian at least on my iPhone app.
Uh. Not a reptile
