An acquaintance was talking to a ranger in Yosemite NP. There, my acquaintace was capturing the bullfrogs. As he put it, removing the problem. The ranger had to radio in to make sure my acquaintance was correct. Removing of native species in national park is very illegal.

The acquaintance was cleared to keep on collecting the bullfrogs for curiosity and for removal from the eco-system. What he told me was about the african variety and not the north american variety. Just did a google search and really didn't come up with any.
North American specie is Rana while the African specie is Pyxicephalus.

I think I need to call him and get a more detailed info...

Regardless, whether its Rana or Pyxicephalus bullfrogs, neither belongs in western US (especially here in california).Rana's are native to the east coast.

I do owe an apology to those on the east coast though...

The lowly earthworm is a shocker... Who could have imagined. When I first read it it was I was taught earthworm, good for the soil.

And thank you for keeping me honest.
