RANA TIGRINA SWALLOWING A SNAKE

Rana tigrina called Indian Bullfrog is mostly solitary and nocturnal in nature. They inhabit holes and bushes near permanent water sources. The frog does not stay in water for a long time; it spends most of its time hiding and feeding in surrounding vegetation. They feed on various type of insects, invertebrates, mice, shrews, young frogs, earthworms, roundworms, juvenile snakes, and small birds. This unusual exhibit was netted from the museum pond while in the act of swallowing a snake.
