More comments[change source]

In the summary, you say bullfrogs can live up to four years. In the adult section, you say four to five. Confliction. DJDunsie (talk) 09:35, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In the Taxonomy section, you say "They do this when they feel threaten". Threatened. DJDunsie (talk) 09:39, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Human use section. "Usually, this is done in middle school." Schools are called different things in different countries so be specific. I presume this is just the US? "Usually, this is done in middle school in the US." DJDunsie (talk) 09:54, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
