Rescued a tadpole from a carnival. NEED HELP!

[JimO]

Warning!!!:
-DO NOT!!! Release this tadpole into the wild!!!! Bullfrogs are an invasive species!

If it's an American Bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana), it is not considered an invasive species in LA, although it is a non-native species introduced in the 1920s. Here is a map showing its current range.

It's range is mostly limited by high elevations and dry climates.

Here is a good California site about American Bullfrogs, with lots of pictures.
