The Blog of American Bullfrogs

    The American Bullfrog is found through-out America.  According to the Virginia Herpetological Society, American Bullfrogs are native to central Florida, all the way up to southern Nova Scotia and west across the Great Plains,  possibly including Tamaulipas and northern Vera Cruz in northern Mexico.      

    They are tadpoles for three-four years (one year to grow back legs, two-three years to grow front legs, and about ten weeks to absorb its tail.)  After the female lays eggs, a male will guard the place, until they become tiny tadpoles.  American Bullfrogs have a clear sticky substance around their eggs, so predators can't eat them.  

American Bullfrogs will eat anything that they can fit in their mouth and that they can swallow.  So, yes, they eat other frogs and tadpoles.  

FUN FACT: The biggest frog in the world is the Goliath Bullfrog.  They live in western Africa.
