1. Bullfrogs: The adult body length is generally between 70-170 millimeters, and the maximum can be more than 200 millimeters, which is one of the largest living frogs. The skin is usually smooth, without dorsal folds, and the muzzle is broad and rounded. The tympanum of females is about as large as the eye, while that of males is significantly larger than the eye.

When they are young, they can only live in the water, and when they grow up, they can also live on land.

3, field fowl: living at an altitude of 900m below the rice paddies, ditches, ponds, reservoirs, marshes and other places with water, its habitat with the foraging, breeding, overwintering and other different life periods and change.

Three, the distribution range is different

1, bullfrogs: Sichuan, Chongqing, Guangxi, Hunan, Xinjiang, Yunnan, Zhejiang, Fujian and so on.

2. Frogs: waters, wetlands and other areas in all continents of the world.

3, field fowl: Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian, Taiwan, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi and Hong Kong, etc. are distributed, but also found abroad in Burma, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia and other regions.
