Meet Tinkerbell!

African bull frogs are massive and mighty amphibians native to the savannahs and grasslands of sub-Saharan Africa. These frogs are among the largest in the world, with males capable of weighing over 2 pounds! Despite their size, African bull frogs are remarkable parents, males guard their tadpoles, protecting them until they’re ready to survive on their own.

African bull frogs are important predators in their ecosystems, eating insects, small mammals, reptiles, and even other frogs. By controlling these populations, they help maintain balance in their habitats. Their voracious appetite and impressive size make them key players in keeping savannah ecosystems healthy.

At Chehaw, our African bull frog helps visitors learn about amphibian biology, parental care in animals, and the vital role predators play in the environment. Observing their powerful build and lively behavior up close gives guests a new appreciation for the incredible diversity and importance of frogs in the wild.
