The African bullfrog (Pyxicephalus adspersus) is a species of frog in the family Pyxicephalidae. It is also known as the pixie frog due to its scientific name.
It is one of the three frog species regularly kept in captivity that have sharp teeth and willingly bite humans when provoked or handled.
It is among the largest frogs, with males weighing up to 1.4 kg (3.1 lb) with a body length of almost ten inches.
Our resident bullfrog.
Spotted him a few days ago for the first time this spring. It is a hard life being a bullfrog that must hibernate each winter and hope the world he reemerges to will still contain his habitat and sustain him another year.
He is so skinny as he sits and waits for any reemerging insect to become his meal to fatten him up so he can do his job of natural mosquito terminator all summer.

I got a chance to go to Tregaron Conservancy near Cleveland Park this afternoon. I never have seen frogs this large before. I've seen toads this big, but never frogs!

This bullfrog managed to catch himself a bird! It was taking a long time to get it down though and here you can just see the last of it sticking out of his mouth.
