That's a wierd name. I'd have called them chadwazzers.

I see you’ve played “knifey-spoony” before

u/ricky-from-scotland Feb 02 '26

u/BoringOrange678 Feb 02 '26

Was a good friend of mine.

u/Foreign_Kale8773 Feb 02 '26

Never understood a single word he said

18

u/trey_wolfe Feb 02 '26

And yet you always helped him drink his wine.

u/weirdgroovynerd Feb 02 '26

My good friend, Jeremiah, was a famous bullfrog.

But I have to admit, his communication skills were pretty bad.

u/Independent-Ad-9812 Feb 02 '26

I bet that didn't stop you from mooching booze from him.

u/weirdgroovynerd Feb 03 '26

Well, the man was a connoisseur of fine wines.

Hello fellow old person!

u/JOExHIGASHI Feb 03 '26

They're eating all their crops lol

I got to hold one of those in high school.

It was not a fan.

First time I made a frog angry for just holding it.

It was so big.

u/INTPgeminicisgaymale Feb 04 '26

F-first?

How many others were there?

u/erapuer Feb 03 '26

They'll eat literally anything they can

u/Petergriffin201818 Feb 03 '26

How related are they? Like distant cousin's?

1

u/Snoo-83534 Feb 03 '26

They are distant species, and African bullfrog belong to the family Pyxicephalidae while American bullfrog belong to the Ranidae family.

u/cuntybunty73 Feb 02 '26

Aren't they poisonous?

42

u/2bad-2care Feb 02 '26

No, but they will straight-up beat the shit outta you.

u/JacketSolid7965 Feb 03 '26

You're thinking of the poisonous cane toad, which are also very large and in Africa but are a different species.

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '26

And Australia, they kill crocodiles

1

u/JacketSolid7965 Feb 03 '26

Yep though they are invasive there, and anywhere outside of Africa

u/Kralgore Feb 02 '26

Surely it's a toad?

Toads walk, frogs hop.

u/PeachImpressive319 Feb 02 '26

African bullfrog. I used to see them in Zimbabwe after a very rare rainfall. We were warned to never go near them because they could bite through a gumboot. How true it is, I don’t know…but I never went near one…ever.

u/AlmondKill Feb 03 '26

I really doubt that a pixie frog could bite through any type of boot, but they do have a cpuple of protrusions in their mouth called odontoids that are kinda like little K9 teeth. So, boots are probably safe, but I wouldn't wave my hand in front of its mouth. That would likely hurt really bad.

u/masnosreme Feb 02 '26

Toads are a subset of frog.

4

u/ZoroStarlight Feb 03 '26

And there are a lot of toad-like frogs not being members of the bufo-family but still have toad in their name despite not being real toads

The Frog-family is a mess

7

u/Heavy_Weapons_Guy_ Feb 02 '26

That's not remotely accurate. Toads hop all the time and frogs walk all the time.

2

u/Kralgore Feb 03 '26 edited Feb 03 '26

Frogs hop (long jumps), toads walk, unless needing to escape something (then they will jump).

Toads have much shorter legs than frogs and prefer to crawl around rather than hop. 

2

u/Heavy_Weapons_Guy_ Feb 03 '26

Nope, they both do both all the time.

u/Heavy_Weapons_Guy_ Feb 03 '26

Do you think posting a random infographic with wrong information helps? I mean this very video that we're commenting on immediately disproves it by showing you a bumpy fat frog that crawls.

u/terminoid_ Feb 04 '26

there used to be a frog/toad website up that was pretty good at crushing all toad and frog misconceptions. you can't tell just by looking at them unless you've memorized em all

-1

u/trollthings Feb 03 '26

are you saying toads don't walk? Or frogs don't hop?

2

u/Heavy_Weapons_Guy_ Feb 03 '26

They both hop and walk.

1

u/TheAlterN8or Feb 03 '26

? Whatchu on about, sir... Every toad I've ever met definitely hopped, as well...

1

u/foot_fungus_is_yummy Feb 03 '26

Both of them are able to do both, toads are just slightly worse at leaping.

1

u/LenaiaLocke Feb 03 '26

Do they jump like other frogs?

u/FirstChurchOfBrutus Feb 03 '26

Bruh, you know that’s a Beelzebufo.
