Hello, a biology proffessor I had in high school said he once found a duckling inside a bullfrog the students were disecting. They'll eat anything the can get in their mouths. I once had one in an aquarium that ate a treefrog and small alligator lizard.

At Mukai Pond on Vashon Island, willows lean out over the muddy shoreline and the waxwings flycatch from the willows. Apparently they are sometimes perching low enough that the bullfrogs can get them. One of the Land Trust staff has been trying to pair down the bullfrog numbers by spear fishing them and has caught, I think, fifty or so at a time. The numbers are very high there but I should find out again how many they're catching.
