    Default Newbie here, please identify this frog for me

    Hello all! i have a frog that has taken up residence in my small fish pond. I do not know if he is a green frog or a bull frog. Could someone help me out? Also should I be worried about my pond fish or the chipmunk family I have living under my ponds waterfall?

    Thanks so much! Cathy

    And if the koi and chipmunks are small enough to fit in the frogs mouth, it will eat them. Lithobates frogs are voracious predators, eating anything that they can grab, American Bullfrogs have been documented eating hatchling alligators, so I would imagine that a relative of that species could eat a chipmunk or koi if it got the chance

    Oh boy! Thanks so much! I did have one fish "mysteriously" disappear but it was one of the larger Shubunkins and I assumed he was dead on the bottom under the vast vegetative area. I hope that is the case. I would not mind population control with the babies that keep being born but not the beautiful ones I paid good money for.

    He is a sweet frog who does not mind us there and does not hop away when I sit down or talk to him so I would love for him to stay...........
