I found this American Bullfrog hunkered down under some bushes on the side of my house. It was a surprising find. It is my understanding that bullfrogs require a sizable body of standing water in order to thrive. There is no body of standing water, of any size, closer than approximately 200yds/183m from my house.
Shortly after finding this bullfrog, we also came across a dark morph Gulf Coast Toad. Gulf Coast Toads are very common in North Texas neighborhoods, so I included the toad in some of the photographs below for size comparison purposes.
