American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) - Pitt County, North Carolina

 

I tried to get creative with this shot of a bullfrog the other night, not perfect but I'm still rather pleased with the result. These large frogs eat anything that will fit into their mouths including other frogs, various invertebrates, small mammals, birds, etc... This one was too small for birds and mammals but I'm sure would happily munch on any smaller frogs or inverts. Based on my observations I suspect that atleast some of the diet of the frogs in this area consists of crayfish. I managed to sneak up on this frog and take this shot, I tried to adjust for the next one but it decided it had enough and swam off.
