🐸American bullfrog

Rana catesbeiana Shaw, 1802

A rã-touro-americana (Rana catesbeiana), é uma espécie de rã nativa da América do Norte. As rãs-touro são anfíbios grandes e podem atingir um comprimento de 20 centímetros e um peso de 1.500 g ou 1kg . São geralmente verdes ou de cor bronzeada, com castanho escuro, verde escuro, ou negro e uma parte inferior amarela ou branca, que varia acentuadamente na época do acasalamento. O esqueleto de uma rã adulta consiste de osso e cartilagem hialina, calcificada. A cartilagem calcificado pode ser encontrada ao longo de todo o corpo da rã, principalmente na epífise dos ossos largos dos membros.
