African bullfrogs have a wide range of food habits. They prey on insects, rodents, birds, and even other frogs. A bullfrog of this kind can weigh up to 2 kilograms and is 24 centimeters long. Facing the hot sun in Africa, they will form a watertight cocoon to prevent themselves from drying out. African bullfrogs can be found everywhere in southern, central and eastern Africa, and their size is second only to that of Cameroonian giant frogs.
of bullfrog? Chinese food?
There is a fierce-looking bullfrog in Africa, which comes from? Hell? Terrible predators. It has a wonderful appetite, and the mouse is his? Chinese food? ; It is flexible, jumping up to 4 meters (or high). Any living thing that passes through its eyes can't escape its long tongue and fangs.
garrick is a bullfrog expert at Newquay Zoo in Africa. He is responsible for feeding these greedy guys. He said:? They are large carnivorous frogs, usually squatting on the ground and quietly ambushing passing animals. They are very interested in moving objects and can suddenly jump up and attack prey within a certain range, including unlucky mice. The captured mice will eventually suffocate to death. If the prey is too big, the bullfrog will vomit from its stomach and wait for the next prey target. ?
although African bullfrogs are greedy animals, they are competent? Parents? They will concentrate on protecting eggs and tadpoles from predators. They even dig ponds to ensure that the ponds where tadpoles live don't dry up.
The prey of African bullfrog includes insects, rodents, birds and even cannibalism. Adult African bullfrogs can reach two kilograms in weight and 24 centimeters in length. Under the strong sunlight in Africa, they can form a watertight cocoon structure to avoid drought.
The African bullfrog eats a lot
1. In the larval stage (3 cm-9 cm in length)
In this period, the African bullfrog eats completely out of control and will never feel full, so it is necessary to strictly control his food intake, otherwise he will eat to death. Only 1 crickets can be released in a week [(1 crickets) =(2 small loaches) = (1 small frog) =(5 small fish)].
2. Adult stage (more than 1cm-2cm in length)
In this period, the African bullfrog's ability of self-control of food intake is still not strong, and it still needs to be fed quantitatively. Now you can eat mice and feed 2-3 mice a week [(2-3 mice) =(2 suckling mice) =(5 crickets) =(2 loaches) =(5 barley worms)].
distribution range
this African bullfrog named Pyxicephalus adspersus in Latin can weigh up to two kilograms. They eat everything, and insects, mice and even other frogs will be mercilessly swallowed by them.

Their natural habitats are savanna, wet grassland, bushes, intermittent freshwater lakes and swamps, cultivated land, pastures, canals and ditches in tropical and subtropical areas.
At present, African bullfrog has been widely kept as a pet all over the world.
African bullfrogs are carnivorous and very greedy. Their prey includes insects, birds, small reptiles, amphibians, rodents and so on, and even cannibalism.
living habits
African cattle box-headed frogs are very aggressive. They can jump out of the box at most 3 meters at a time. They will be stimulated by sports, pounce on almost any moving object within the jumping range, and then swallow the whole prey. The prey will suffocate or go into shock before being digested. If the prey is too big, the African bullhead frog will even spit out its stomach and wait until the next meal to eat it. African cattle box-headed frogs have tooth-like structures like protrusions. It is said that when these giant frogs close their mouths, their teeth feel like broken glass.
facing the hot sun in Africa, they will form a watertight cocoon to prevent themselves from drying out.
The male frog can make a loud cry, which is used for courtship and intimidating enemies.
During the breeding period, they gather in ponds formed in rainy season to compete with each other, and can produce 3,-4, eggs. Male frogs are responsible fathers. They will guard eggs and tadpoles and drive away predators. In order to prevent the pond from drying up, they will also dig a diversion channel from nearby waters.
