Title
American
Bullfrog
and
Red-eared
Sliders
Location
La
Salle
County
,
Texas
Description
Bull
Frogs
are
native
to the
eastern
United
States
and
occur
in
most
permanent
or
semi-permanent
bodies
of
water
. The
Bull
Frog
is
a
voracious
predator
and will
consume
most
anything
smaller
than
itself
. The
Bull
Frog
has been
introduced
into
several
parts
of the
western
United
States
where
it
is
considered
an
invasive
species
.
It
has
displaced
many
species
of
western-native
amphibians
and
is
causing
serious
decline
in
others
.
Red-Eared
Sliders
are
extremely
common
all
over
the
world
thanks
to
pet
trade
, but in the
wild
they are
native
to
warmer
parts
of the
southern
United
States
.
Red-eared
Sliders
are
omnivores
and will
readily
eat
a
wide
variety
of
plant
and
animals
materials
,
including
tadpoles
,
insects
,
snails
,
aquatic
plants
, and
carrion
. These
turtles
are
semi-aquatic
and
prefer
to
live
in
areas
where
the
water
is
calm
and
where
there are
plenty
of
objects
to
bask
on.
