...another tadpole question to the froggers.
We have also witnessed a gazillion tadpoles in our virgin waters. All very tiny; maybe 1/4" - 1/2" long. Earlier this week, D-ski handled the fish stocking project while I was on the road. She said that she saw a huge tadpole. She said that it was easily bigger than my thumb. The fish guy immediately noted that it was a bullfrog tadpole, ready to sprout legs (whether he knew what he was talking about or not...?). Does a tadpole that large indicate the BF species? I could swear that I have heard the gutteral bellow of a BF at the pond perimeter in the past few weeks.
