Did You Know?

Stomach content studies going back to 1913 suggest the bullfrog preys on any animal it can overpower and stuff down its throat. Bullfrog stomachs have been found to contain rodents, small turtles, snakes, frogs--including bullfrogs, birds, even a bat, as well as the many invertebrates which are the usual food of ranid frogs.
