#1 Just imagine the frog's legs a gourmet could get from one! Seriosly, when I was about 9 or 10 I saw a bullfrog eat a water moccasin. Danged BIG bullfrog. They will eat almost anything they can catch.

#2 The effective solution would be to institute a program where you fly over a few thousand teenage American males for the summer.

That'll clear out the ponds of bullfrogs in a hurry.

I dunno. Last time that was done, the Americans cleared out the Nazis. The French have never forgiven us for that.

Not any California frog I ever heard of, they top out at about 6 inces. These guys sure they haven't got the Amazonian Giant Bullfrog?

#12 REMARKS Not indigenous to Western U.S. May be responsible for decline of native aurans.
DESCRIPTION: The Bull Frog is the largest frog in North America. It can reach over 6 inches in length. Some of the diagnostic characteristics include the absence of dorsolateral ridges and the presence of a large and conspicuous tympanic membrane (ear drum). Short folds of skin extend from over the eye to behind the tympanic membrane, which will be larger than the eye in males and about the same size as the eye in females. The hind feet are completely webbed except for the last joint of the largest toe. The dorsal surface is usually void of any markings but may have spots or dark mottling. It can range in color from dark olive to pale green. The ventral surface is usually a light cream to yellow color with dark marbling sometimes present. Bull Frog tadpoles have a light ventral surface and the dorsal surface is greenish to yellow with numerous black spots. Bull Frog larvae winter in the tadpole stage.
LIFE HISTORY: The Bull Frog is not native to the Western U.S. but was introduced into several localities in the West where it has been implicated in native anuran declines. In Region 4, the Bull Frog has became established in various locations in Utah, Nevada and Idaho. This frog is highly aquatic, and never strays far from permanent water, whether it be marsh, pond, lake, or reservoir. It sometimes frequents temporary water bodies long distances from permanent water. It prefers water with thick aquatic vegetation such as cattails and can even tolerate brackish water. The Bull Frog is not dependent on rainfall for breeding. It is nocturnal but calling commonly occurs during the day as well. The Bull Frog winters at the bottom of water bodies.

Rana catesbeiana

#15 "The hunters battled for two hours and killed one frog."

That about says it.

#16 A country full of weasels should be able to quickly eradicate this problem. I'm surprised there wasn't a preemptive strike on the frogs. Not!
