🐸American bullfrog

Rana catesbeiana Shaw, 1802

Skokan volský (Lithobates catesbeianus) je jedna z největších žab na světě. Jméno dostal podle bučivého hlasu, jímž si samci označují své území. Během rozmnožování spolu samci vzájemně bojují přetlačováním. Samice kladou vajíčka ve shlucích, nejčastěji v hustě zarostlých klidných vodách. Tyto žáby jsou aktivní ve dne i v noci. Jsou velmi plaché a ostražité. Jedná se o akvatický druh, většinou se nevzdaluje od vody. Jsou výborní plavci, pod vodou vydrží delší dobu.
