New Tadpole Mommy?

[Rebecca Lee Brooks]

Hi, all!
I'm new here, and joined specifically to ask this question.

I visited my uncle today, and while visiting his pond, discovered HUNDREDS of tadpoles, along with at least thousands of eggs.
I took a few of the tadpoles, and am planning to raise them until they metamorphosize, and then possibly re-release them into his pond.
I was just wondering if anyone could help me identify the little guys? I'll attach a picture of the tadpoles, and of an adult frog I have seen on the banks of the pond.


Thanks :]

That is a bullfrog. I raised a bullfrog from a tad and it was fun watching it grow!

Thanks! I thought so, just wanted to make sure.

Just in case you were planning on this being a spring/summer project, it might be worth pointing out that bullfrog tadpoles can sometimes take a year or two to morph into froglets.

Were there any other frogs in the pond? Tadpoles can be tricky to ID...
