Plumas NF: Bullfrog information meeting on Jan. 9 in Quincy.

QUINCY, Calif. December 29, 2017 – Local American bullfrog populations and a proposed control plan are the topics of a community meeting scheduled for 7 p.m., Jan. 9, at the Quincy Library Conference Room at 445 Jackson Street in Quincy.

The American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) is native to the eastern U.S. and Canada, but has quickly established itself around the world as an invasive species that easily displaces native species for food and space. Bullfrogs, potentially weighing over 2 pounds when mature, have an insatiable appetite, consuming anything they can fit in their mouths including insects, snakes, lizards, turtles, frogs, fish, rodents, bats and birds.
