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.

This is what happened once those Red Roosians started putting all that junk up in space.

That is NOT and African bullfrog. It's just a good old fashioned American bullfrog.
Who's legs I might add would be VERY tasty fried in some butter with garlic.

I am not putting it in the potato cannon.

Its hard to determine without reviewing its anatomy. Please slice it open and post pictures of the inside from numerous angles and I'll let you know.
To: HairOfTheDog
I don't think it belongs here, I think it escaped or something, BINGO!
It probably escaped someone's Calaveras Frog Jump training camp.

We don't have a zoo! - This is a small town!
And this thing is so fat he has not journeyed far.... He is not a speedy creature.

Why not place it in your Bass-O-Matic? Mmmmm, tasty.
To: HairOfTheDog
Oh, it's probably a native, they're just about everywhere. Ponds mostly. Just let it go, it wasn't lost until you picked it up.
Orrrrr... if you can find 2 or 3 more, the legs breaded and pan-fried make a great meal, and they even look enough like chicken legs so they won't freak you out too bad....
Or, ya could just do what I used to do with them when I was a kid, but you'll need some firecrackers for that... ;)

It's a poodle that has led a rough life. I suggest Alpo and a chew toy.
