A bullfrog expert said the species of amphibian are usually no bigger than a pound. The record the largest has been an African cane toad that weighed 7 pounds.
“The photo is real and I’ve got others from the same area, just not as big but still big bullfrogs,” Rangel responded.
Rangel said he didn’t think his picture would go viral and regrets not taking more pictures and video of the bullfrog to prove it is real. He sent KFOX14 pictures of a giant bullfrog being held by a coyote snare. “We weren’t planning to post it anywhere other than a regular Facebook post and Snapchat. If I would have known it would go this far, I would have taken more pics and video with my regular camera and not through Snapchat where they’re deleted after 24 hours if not saved,” Rangel said. h/t
