Meat eating frogs?

[PJay]

What next? Never heard of them. How about you?

It's like something out of an animal horror movie -- killer frogs take over peaceful pond, then after terrorizing and eating everything alive, start eating each other.

Only it's no movie. It's really happening in Golden Gate Park's Lily Pond, near the California Academy of Sciences. And after watching the frogs chew through everything in sight over the past several years, the city finally wants to do something about it.

No one knows for sure when the African clawed frogs got into the pond or who put them there. But there they are, and the Toad Warriors have pretty much taken care of the native turtles, frogs and fish.

What are frogs supposed to eat, vegetables?
Actually, I think I saw something on NG about these guys. They showed one shoving another frog down his throat using his little hands. Pretty weird looking.

All frogs eat meat. You think they just sit on their lily pad and lap up an occasional fly? Flies are meat too.

That's what the lunch lady used to tell us in school.

You had flys? I'm jealous! We had ####roaches

Wait, you went to bootcamp? I didn't know that!

Most pet stores that sell reptiles, also sell PacMan Frogs, which are also meat eaters

Horny frogs.

Yes, but we're talking eating turtles, fish, frogs etc.

I like frog legs.

My box turtle eats frogs/toads, and I thought that was strange. They hop into her habitat, and she chews them right up not leaving a bit behind. I stopped looking when I saw a pair of legs wiggling in her mouth.

What is this world coming to? They are going to start eating us next.

I used to have a Pacman Toad that ate live mice.

I've never been introduced to frogs that have teeth...thankfully.

Seriously tho, people need to stop bringing to the U.S. what does not belong.

Like Mexicans!

Sounds like they're bi
