This was the most complicated dissection that we completed. We started by cutting the inside of the stomach. We were able to observe the circulatory system very easily because the veins and arteries were dyed red and blue to show where they were. We also cut open the legs to see how the muscle worked. We also observed the eye of the frog, and learned more about vision.
Ecology
Bullfrogs are important prey to many birds. The high levels of activity for many tadpoles make them noticeable. They escape from predators by splashing and jumping into deep water. Some are resistant to the venom of certain snakes. They are eaten by a variety of predators from small fish to river otters and large alligators. They are carnivores, and eat insects and small rodents.
