Pig frog or bullfrog
My husband, who usually leaves for work before dawn, reported seeing a large
green frog in the driveway several days ago. Coming home late last night from an evening with friends, I saw the culprit myself, on the driveway in the lit area. He's solid dull green, about 6-7" long, and looks like a photo of a pig frog I found in several of my books. I approached him slowly from behind, and suddenly he noticed me and flew off into the foliage beside the driveway, leaving a trail of fluid (presumably urine?) behind. I am protective of frogs, toads, and snakes (even rat snakes, which tend to eat my Barn Swallows ), so I wasn't trying to hurt him, just get him out of the way so I could put my car in the garage. I suspect he's keeping my minnow population down in the inground pond. I doubt he can get up into the stock tank ponds - there's no access. So far I haven't noticed any goldfish loss in the inground pond. Gail near San Antonio TX USA |
