Hi from South Africa - I see from this forum that most of you ask questions about your pet frogs, but I would like to know about the possibility of a wild African Bullfrog in my garden. Is there anyone out there from South Africa who has Bullfrogs on their garden?

I only hear the noise at night, and the sound is quite like the call on the soundbyte on this website, but it is a much louder, and rasping sort of noise - it sounds like a huge creature!

It is Summer here now, and I presume the breeding season. We have had a lot of rain, and the noise comes from a damp area near a downpipe. There is a large rock and I think he is under there, I have searched the site but cannot find him. Our garden is about 1 km. from the nearest river - could it be a Bullfrog, or do they only live in real wetland areas? Our garden is normally fairly dry. Do they ever move about during the daytime? I so badly want to positively identify the noise.
