BullFrog And The Unlucky Sparrow

Frog Eats Sparrow 01

Spectacular captures of the American Bullfrog preying on an unlucky sparrow. Growing up to a length of 20 centimeters or 7.9 inches, the bullfrog preys on any animal that it can overpower and stuff down its throat. Their stomachs have been found to contain rodents, small turtles, snakes, frogs including bullfrogs and birds of course.

Ambush predators as they are known for, the bullfrog can be seen submerging large preys (in this case the sparrow) into the water to cut their air supply and defense.

Check out the whole sequence of the bullfrog and the unlucky sparrow with 5 more pics after the jump.

      I never would have guessed the unassuming bullfrog to be so skilled at stalking and then suffocating it’s prey! Amazing photography!
