If you have ever heard the call of an adult Bullfrog, you won't mistake it for any other frog in the U.S. It is very deep, and sometimes fairly loud. Bullfrogs are fairly large in size, compared to other American frogs. They can reach about 8 inches in length, and can be well over a pound in weight. Being green in color, with brownish spots, they blend in well with their natural habitat. They are not particular about what they eat, and will eat just about anything they can get in their mouths. They have even been known to eat small snakes. There range extends throughout the US, as far south as Mexico, and as far north as Canada.
