ANOTHER WILDLIFE QUESTION: Humans know better than to bother me during #GameOfThrones so when I heard the dogs doing their “Danger” bark, I grabbed a flashlight & ran outside. I heard a long ear-piercing whine, like the sound of air leaving a balloon. What was it? Video coming!
A hint; I'm in south Georgia & it rained here for most of the day.
It was a bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) & the reason that sound is so similar to what I described coming from a balloon, is because that’s exactly what is happening. When threatened, they blow themselves up to look bigger & if that doesn’t work, they exhale to make that loud noise.
