GREEN BEACH BLANKET

A bullfrog perches on a thick blanket of filamentous green algae tiled with duckweed. If disturbed he would leap upward and dive head first through the mat to hide in the water beneath.

AMBUSH PREDATOR

Bullfrogs eat whatever they can catch and swallow. Large bullfrogs weigh more than a pound and may eat small snakes, small birds, mice, and other frogs including their own kind.

FROM A BLANKET OF DUCKWEED

Bullfrogs require permanent waters in which to breed. Their tadpoles are very large and require two years to develope into adult-form frogs.
