I awoke to this on my back patio this morning. I’m thinking raccoon vs bullfrog due to the paw prints but have never heard of a raccoon killing and eating large frogs. The closest water source to me is over 100yds away, so he would have had to bring it into the yard from there. My yard is also fenced in with 6’ white panels. Oh the mystery  Poor Jeremiah        | ||

I think the evidence is clear on what happened. WHO on the other hand is a different question. You might submit paw prints and swab the deceased for DNA samples. I do commend your crime scene photographs. They should be submitted as well as evidence. Has the coroner been notified?

I'm kind of torn between racoon tracks and skunk tracks. Both eat frogs and both can climb 6' fences. Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity DISCLAIMER: These are the author's own personal views and do not represent the views of the author's employer. | |||

At least the raccoon was thoughtful enough to bring it up and eat(more like mutilate) it on your patio cushions. _____________________________ "The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living."

No bullfrogs in this neck of the woods, but we have tree frogs around here that emit a toxic (or at least terrible tasting) substance from their skin when threatened. Do bullfrogs do the same thing? If so, I'd think it'd be enough to keep even the meanest predators at bay as my dog won't even go near the things after one taste. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil."

I'd guess it was a 'coon, but it could be a skunk. I think 'coons are generally more common though. People eat bullfrogs, so I don't think they are toxic or noxious like some frogs. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

He probably met his end because he did not share his wine. | |||

You cant trust an animal who wears a mask. I often see my Chipmunks stalk, catch and eat grasshoppers. That was new animal behavior news for me. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||
