Default Updated pond site - frogs eat fish

Hello Allen,

I found this great site, I'm always looking for good ones as I am a Frog Fan
;-)

http://wwknapp.home.mindspring.com/GAFrog.Toad.html

It also has recordings of frog and toad calls which is a good way to ID frogs
and toads.

Look at the bullfrog, and his cousin, the pig frog, these are the predators of
the pond.
The easiest way to tell them apart from other frogs is to look at their eyes
and ears. Bullfrogs and pig frogs have a fold of skin that starts at the eye
and curves around the ear drum.
Green/bronze frogs are larger frogs that people mistake for bull/pig frogs but
don't have the curved fold of skin. Green/bronze frogs are much friendlier
frogs to have in the pond.

Bullfrogs and pigfrogs will eat anything. I've had them eat song birds. They
will also eat fish, crawfish, other frogs, snakes, mice.
If you ever want to move them from your pond let us know. Rec.ponders have lots
of practice.
