Study on introduced American Bullfrogs: Diet

[Bombina Bob]

Hi there
I agree with you 110%! ive seen bullfrogs eat practically anything including a Duckling and sparrow
that flew too close to the water. The frog had some trouble getting the bird down

Great observation, thanks...so good to be lucky enough to catch such things; my most interesting came while tossing crickets to a habituated group of frogs that lived in an artificial pond at the Bx Zoo, where I worked at the time. The leap of a 1/2 grown individual carried him right in front of a huge male, who, with difficulty, swallowed him. A group of 4th graders was watching...Have seen males 'wrestling" as well.

Have a photo, but not on the computer, of a bullfrog swallowing a bat.
