About the Banded bullfrog
The Banded bullfrog is a amphibian in the family Microhylidae (order Anura). Its conservation status on the IUCN Red List is “least concern”.
What does the Banded bullfrog sound like?
Frog and toad calls are produced by males, who inflate a vocal sac to amplify the sound. Choruses are loudest on warm, humid nights in the breeding season, and each species' call has its own pitch, rhythm and pulse rate.
The recordings here are labelled as banded bull frog call. Listen for differences in rhythm, pitch and repetition – the spectrum display makes it easy to see whether a sound is a pure whistle (a thin line), a harsh call (a broad band) or a trill (rapid repeated marks).
