CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Is the American frog a bullfrog?

1. Differences in living habits

The breeding and living habits of American frogs and bullfrogs are similar, but American frogs are lazy by nature, have poor jumping and scuba diving abilities, exercise little, are easy to manage, and have high bait rewards. Bullfrogs are aggressive in nature, have strong jumping and burrowing abilities, and are somewhat difficult to manage and prevent from escaping.

2. Difference in growth rate

Under the same conditions, the growth rate of American frogs is faster than that of bullfrogs, especially in the juvenile stage. When the frogs reach 400 grams, the growth rate slows down and the maximum size is about 800 grams. Bullfrogs grow slowly during the juvenile period. When the frogs reach 75 grams, the growth rate accelerates and the maximum size is 1500 grams.

3. Differences in hibernation temperature

The feeding stop temperature for bullfrog farming is 18℃, and the hibernation temperature is 14℃～15℃; the critical temperatures for feeding stop and hibernation of American frogs are 10℃ and 5℃～8℃ respectively. The growth period of American frogs is about one month longer than that of bullfrog farming. In some places, American frogs are raised in plastic greenhouses without heating and without obvious hibernation, while bullfrogs still need to hibernate for about 70 days under the same conditions.

1. Differences in definitions

The American bullfrog (Rana grylio), also known as the swamp green bullfrog, pig frog bridge eggplant or pig croaking frog, is a frog native to the southwestern United States, distributed from South Carolina to Texas. The bullfrog (Rana catesbiana Shaw) belongs to the class Amphibia, order Anura, family Ranidae, and is a large edible frog.

2. Difference in size

The American frog is similar in shape to common frogs, but larger than common frogs, but smaller than bullfrogs, with the largest individual weighing about 500 grams. The frog has a flat body, a small and flat head, an underdeveloped eardrum, small and protruding eyes, small forelimbs, and thick and developed hind limbs, and is not good at jumping.

3. Differences in breeding characteristics

Hibernation temperature: The feeding temperature of bullfrog is 18℃, and the hibernation temperature is 14℃～15℃; the critical temperature of American frog is 10℃ and 5℃～8℃ respectively. The growth period of American frog is about one month longer than that of bullfrog.

Additional information:

The bullfrog is a treasure from head to toe. It is a large economic frog that is used for food, medicine and skin. Bullfrog meat is a superior delicacy and a high-grade health food. It is a healthy food with high protein, low fat and low cholesterol.

In addition, bullfrog skin is a high-quality musical instrument material, a top-grade leather raw material, and can also be used to extract high-grade glue; bullfrog oil can be used to make high-quality oils and fats, bullfrog pituitary gland is a highly effective oxytocin, and bullfrog scraps can be used to make high-quality feed. Bullfrogs are also good experimental animals and loyal plant defenders. Artificially cultivated bullfrogs grow fast, have high yields, low costs, high value, and have high economic benefits.

The American frog is what we often call the American frog.

Although the American frog is similar to the bullfrog, there are some differences if you look closely, as shown in the following points:

American frog

1. Differences in head: The bullfrog has a broad and flat head, shaped like a toad, with slightly protruding eyes; the American frog has a slightly pointed head, with obviously protruding eyes.

2. Skin differences: The bullfrog's skin is rough and pimpled, its head is green-brown, its body is gray-black, and it is covered with blocky markings; the American frog's skin is smooth and has few warts, its head is green, and its body is green-brown during the growing season, with evenly distributed dotted markings on its back and limbs.

So the American frog is a frog, not a bullfrog.

After answering, Mosong Chongbi!

It is an edible frog, of course it is a bullfrog.

American frog is bullfrog, for sure.
