The common
bullfrog (Rana Catesbeiana) or buffo, as they call
it in Hawaii, is another wetland animal. The
bullfrog has rough brown skin with many warts on
it. This amphibian is unique because of its
peculiar tongue which it uses to catch its main
food, insects.

The bullfrog was
originally brought to Hawaii from tropical America.
It lives in marshes, lawns, and waterways such as
ponds, streams, lakes, etc. The buffo lays its eggs
inside a jelly-like rope. The eggs soon hatch into
tiny, black tadpoles.
