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.

It looks like an African bull-frog. "What's the thrust velocity of a laden bullfrog?"

A Eurasian laden bullfrog or a European laden bullfrog?

Hang on to him till your warts are gone.

Then, since he comes with his own skewers, make a marinade of beer, lemon juice and soy sauce....and voila!.....frog kebobs.

Any swampy wetlands nearby? They hang out all around here in Michigan...as long as there's a little water, there's bullfrogs.

DANGER!!! DO NOT TOUCH IT!!! That is an Amazonian Mushroom Frog!!! It is very poisonous, the indians in the upper reaches of the Amazon River make the poison for their darts with it's skin.

It is illegal to import them but undocumented aliens have been caught smuggling them in and are often victims of accidental poisings when they inadvertantly touch them. There is no antidote.

If it continues to crap dollar bills, you should keep it. Try changing its feed and see if you can get it up to hundreds. ......too funny! Good one
