Have
you heard of the African Bullfrog?
Maybe
you have and maybe you're not, anyway I will tell you a bit about it.
They can be found in parts of Africa where there's a rainy season
and a dry season. Frogs need to stay wet to survive so during the dry
season they dig a burrow somewhere damp, curl up and wait for the
rain to return.
They
can go without food for months like this living off all those mice
and lizards they ate earlier.
The
male bullfrog plays a big part in guarding the female's eggs and
looking after the tadpoles as they grow. Unfortunately, it may also
eat some of them as a snack.
They
are big, mean, scary looking frog and they don't just look it they
are that way. They grow to about 25cm in length and use its wide
mouth and sharp teeth to grab and gulp down anything it can get such
as fish, insects, lizards. If you try and pick it up it will probably
try and bite your hand too.
Sounds like some of politicians, biting the hand that feeds them!

ReplyDeleteI think I saw them in a documentary. Huge, fat, and not afraid of anything. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like my late brother in law! Thanks for reminding me why I do this.
ReplyDeleteSmall dogs can be easily injured by inappropriate handling and many owners find this out the hard way. Gently lift at the belly from under his front legs and secure play bazaar satta king him with both hands.
