African bullfrog

I accidentally stumbled upon these porkers while Googling "cat frog." Fat frogs are way better.

Pixie Frogs have become popular with hobbyists who want an aquatic and easy to care for pet that is more exciting than a goldfish.

The African bullfrog lives in a variety of arid and semiarid habitats in central and southern Africa. This frog has long ridges on the skin of its back and a huge head. The pet trade is supplied by captive-bred and wild-caught specimens. African bullfrogs are often called "Pixie" frogs (derived from their genus, not their size). It is theorized that a number of different subspecies or species are now sold in the trade as African bullfrogs.

Captive animal. Native range: across much of southern part of Africa. It can be as large as 9 in. (32 cm) long and wide. Note that a common name, "pixie frog," is no doubt not due to its size, but to the genus name.

African Pixie Frog (African Bullfrog) - African Bull Frogs, also known as the Pixie frog, (which was derived from its genus name, not because it's cute as a fairy!) is the largest frog in South Africa.

Today’s animal is the African Bullfrog. These large amphibians live along the coast of Africa and are notoriously cranky.

Very quick 'shop for fun so I don't get rusty. Work and health problems keep me from doing much these days. Hope you enjoy it. ;-)
