Description
This female American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus or Rana catesbeiana) sits absolutely still. She knows her blotched olive green back and sides are excellent camouflage and remaining motionless until the predator (in this case the photographer) moves on and she has a moment to jump over the bank and into the nearby water. An amphibious frog, she is at home both on land and in water. I took this photo at the Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge (previously the Squaw Creek NWR) in northwestern Missouri.
