EEEEEK!

What the heck is this?

Yes, I know it is a frog.... But I DON'T THINK WE HAVE FROGS LIKE THIS HERE!

Seriesly, I have lived in Washington state my whole life, and I have never seen anything like this in the wild here. Just little tree frogs. This thing is huge! It was hopping across my yard so I caught it.

Hey! I've got an idea! Let's put it in a potato gun! Here! Hold muh beer!

One year, my daughter gigged thirty of these out of an overpopulated pond. Many like the legs; I don't care for them. Taste, to me, like sea scallops and I don't like those either. But they made a nifty pile of fried legs, and the pondowner enjoyed supplying a feast for a family.

Before you faint, think how much like a fish it is...(g)

Looks like an African Bullfrog to me.

Those things used to frequent the wifes water garden. The're called I Don't care Frogs. The sit by the pond and go "Friggit." all night long.

It looks like an African bull-frog.

"What's the thrust velocity of a laden bullfrog?"

'And now it has my money'

Just cut off it's legs and cook them until they're legal tender . . .

Oh come on, let the little guy go. I'm sure he has a frog family to get home to. Hey that's the arguments that was always used on me by my parents and it tended to work, I always started feeling sorry for them after that

It's the tail-less, scale-less mutant Asian walking catfish. The kind that looks just like a bullfrog.

It's an alien pod-person who got garbled in the transmission.

It's that really ugly new dog breed, the Green Ribbit.

Friggit..Friggit.. Friggit

Whatcha got there son is a bullfrog...ah said a bullfrog. Ya know, as in "ribbett", "ribbett". Actually it's more of a booming "barumph".

It's Hillary on the NW leg of her book tour.

And speaking of legs, hers look better than I've seen them in a long time.

I used to catch treefrogs around here when I was young and I've never seen one of those either! That's one fat frog!

[Sloth]

It's a Northwestern Aquatic Moose.

I don't intend to kill it, (You have no idea how much of a softy I am) I just wondered if such things were native here, and I am trying to google that now.

I live in the woods, there are no ponds near here. Should I take it to a lake was what I wondered.

Far out, man..........

On second thought, after reading the other posts I would call your local zoo.

It's a bullfrog. Occasionally, for some reason, they don't like where they are and decide to move somewhere else. I also live in Washington, in an area that has a lot of lakes, and I see one crossing the road between lakes about once a year.

Either that or that radioactive dump down the street from you sprung a leak...

[kevao]

It could have escaped from the zoo.
