A Bullfrog hides among some aquatic plants waiting for something to eat, to wonder too close. Its ear (tympanic membrane), which appears as a circular disk, is very obvious directly behind its eye. The American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus), is also known as: bullfrog, common bullfrog; Grenouille-taureau; Grenouille-taureau; Rana toro; jug o´rum; North American bullfrog; ouaouaron; Amerikanischer Ochsenfrosch; Nordamerikanischer Ochsenfrosch; Ochsenfrosch; ushigaeru; ウシガエル; rá touro; rã-touro.
This is a Wood Frog (Lithobates sylvaticus) in a mass of eggs. This photo was taken on 2/24/17, at a vernal pool. To show how cold it was, there is twig at the right that has a coating of ice on it.
