This captivating eye belongs to an American bullfrog. Similar to other species, these are highly aquatic creatures. These frogs are native to eastern North America and are often seen near permanent water sources such as lake, rivers, and ponds. I spotted this American bullfrog along the shoreline of Jordan Pond in Acadia National Park. Wild Boyz Photography has written about beautiful Acadia National Park in the past. If you are interested in other nature photography from Acadia National Park explore the photos below.

If you look closely into the reflection of the bullfrog’s eye, you can see that it was a beautiful blue-sky day when I took this photo. If you approach calmly and slowly, you can get very close to these interesting amphibians. They use this same stealth and camouflage to prey upon other creatures. American bullfrogs are ambush predators and will eat almost anything they can catch. They capture and consume unsuspecting lizards, snakes, rodents, crayfish, insects, snails, and worms. American bullfrogs will even eat other frogs, including other bullfrogs!
