EXTREMELY STRANGE WHITE Bull Frog. Input APPRECIATED. What is it?

Great to hear! It sounds like she's been welcomed into a nice home .

Here is a great article about pigments and colors in humans and animals.

I've done some further research after being intrigued by your frog. She does not seem to fit the proper leucistic profile. I think she may have a piebald mutation.

Piebaldism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I find it amazing that you found her out of all of the bullfrogs there! Truly lucky!

I am doing more research and will update if I can find anything useful for you.

want to know what's even more amazing? My cousin and his friend caught and released it a few days prior before I went back and got it! Amazing.

We came back the next day and he was all "it will be here trust me" where I was all " lets just try and catch some big bullfrogs and get some nice pics because there's no way were going to find that frog again." He had shown me pictures of it and I knew in my bones it would be too damn good to be true for us to find it again, sure enough it was the first frog we came across.

Even though I'm no bullfrog expert I have owned them in the past and at the very least am familiar with their behavior and this one is a cut above the rest intelligence wise. Not surprising as to survive like it did it had to rely on it's intellicect more than other frogs who simply rely on instinct to survive. It sat in this one area of the lake where it was very shallow and clear. I think this frog learned early in life it simply doesn't have camouflage capabilities like the rest of them.

I will read through those articles. Btw, thanks so much for the piebald theory. When I finished reading your post I literally thought "duh, why hadn't that occurred to me."

BecUse if it was a Lucy then it would be a paradox Lucy because some of its genetics are in direct defiance of the luciatic gene(the normal eyes, the green splotches and such). I'm even more excited at the possibility of it being piebald as there is usually a great variation between animals with that gene. Some have less white, some have more white, others have the white distributed in different areas and in different amounts ect.

it just makes a lot more sense that its a pie. For it to be a paradox Lucy would be one in 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00.
statistic alone suggest that it's a pie, so thanks very much for pointing that out. If it is a pie I'd love to see the genetics in combo with blue bullfrogs. White with splotches of blue/blue with splotches of white would be amazing to see
