Swamp King - a photo on Flickriver

Swamp King

            American Bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus)

Taken at the marsh at VCDB in Arlington, Texas. In this marsh there are hundreds upon hundreds, if not thousands of bullfrogs of all sizes. About every few feet is a bullfrog, and that is not an exaggeration either, they are mostly around the 2" range though, that does not include their legs.
This is the largest one I have seen there, there is another, almost as large, and they hang out together a lot. :)
This marsh is like the proverbial primordial soup, I couldn't even begin to know what is in there, it's stocked with all kinds of things living underneath the surface.

Speaking of "primordial soup", I did not make the green water luminous like it appears, that must be the reflection of trees or something, it wasn't forced to look that strange... :)
