Type of Frog?
 

Hi All

my tadpoles have been finishing their transformation to frogs! Anyone
know what type of frogs these are? I think they might be bull frogs,
but that is just a guess! Been trying to match my pictures to ones on
the web identifying different types of frogs! anyway please take a look
and let me know what you think of my frogs, ponds, turtles, koi etc?
Thanks

The frogs look like green frogs. Similar in appearance to bull frogs.
There are plenty of regional differences in looks though so I could be
wrong.

They are bullfrogs, the curve of the
fold of the skin around the eardrum
is the key. When the males
start calling they will make a ''rumn
rumn, rumn' deep call. And they will
do A LOT of their calling at night.
That won't happen until next year
when the pond water warms up into
the high 70s.

Bullfrogs will eat fish, other frogs, tadpoles,
snakes, mice, birds, in addition to the flying
insects that all frogs eat. So be prepared for
that. But fish will overproduce themselves
rapidly so it is handy to have a few bullfrogs
around. Just don't get too attached to
any particular fish!

I have one in my ponds, Her Royal Highness,
The Lady Bullfrog. We tried to catch her but
she is smarter than all the humans around
here so she gets to stay.

Males will have yellow throats and large
eardrums, females will have white throats
and dainter eardrums.

They are not native in our part of the country
but they are here to stay. Biologists will
clear them out of habitats where any
endangered amphibians live to help the
species of concern along.

It looks like a common green frog or perhaps a young female bullfrog. My
guess is a green frog. The turtles are sliders. They're very common where
I live in middle TN. I love your pictures!
