Quick Bullfrog Sketch Tutorial with Unhinged Historical Trivia

Sketching the American bullfrog this morning while talking through how its own lungs protect it from its 119 decibel scream, why frogs may have reached Antarctica before the continent even split off, and how a native North American frog turned into one of its own worst invaders through the frog leg trade. 9 Fun Facts About the American Bullfrog: 1. The American bullfrog calls at up to 119 decibels, louder than a chainsaw, but a built-in pressure system in its own body keeps it from deafening itself. 2. Male bullfrogs are territorial to the point of wrestling. 3. A female bullfrog can lay up to 20,000 eggs in a single breeding season. 4. Bullfrogs have been documented leaping out of the water to catch bats. 5. The Ranidae family, the true frogs, originated in Indochina and spread from there across the globe. 6. The bullfrog was intentionally spread across the United States, and then the world, because of frog legs. 7. The American bullfrog is listed among the 100 World's Worst Invasive Alien Species and is now established in over 40 countries. 8. The chytrid fungus spread globally in large part because bullfrogs were shipped alive across continents for the food trade. 9. In their native range, American bullfrogs are abundant and hold a stable conservation status. #bullfrog #frogfacts #wildlifefacts #drawingtutorial #timelapsedrawing A blunt force journey through the art world.
