Urban Bullfrog


Bullfrogs and American Toads are the only anuran species I've found at Kenney Park.  In a small stream like this, I would expect to see green frogs as well, but they just aren't around.  The bullfrog is king.  This is probably North America's most resilient frog species-  they can eat just about anything and they have even been introduced to areas of the country and are now considered invasive in those places

  2. Good size one, but I seem to remember them getting HUGE when I was a kid. Maybe it was just that my hands were so small...
