看动物学英语-美国牛蛙。牛蛙为啥叫牛蛙？

The male bullfrog's call is deep and loud. Some people think it sounds like a cow mooing, which is why the frog has "bull" in its name. Walking through a marsh or near a pond, you might hear a whole chorus of these calls as male bullfrogs let other bullfrogs know where their territory is.

雄性牛蛙的叫声深沉而响亮。有些人认为这听起来像牛的叫声，这就是为什么这种青蛙的名字中带有“bull”字样。在沼泽地或池塘附近，您可能会听到这些叫声的齐声，因为雄性牛蛙想让其他牛蛙知道它们的领地在那里。

Bullfrogs eat all kinds of insects, mice, snakes, fish, and other small creatures. They hunt at night, waiting patiently until they see something pass by that they figure would make a good meal. Then, with a powerful leap, they lunge at their prey with their mouths wide open. Gulp! Down the gullet the unlucky (but tasty!) critter goes.

牛蛙吃各种昆虫、老鼠、蛇、鱼和其他小动物。它们在夜间捕猎，耐心等待，直到看到有什么可以做一顿美餐东西经过。然后，它们猛地一跃，猛扑过去。它们张开嘴来捕食。咕噜咕噜！这只不幸但很美味的小动物就顺着它的食道咽下去。

Bullfrogs like warm weather. When it turns cold, they dig down into mud to hibernate.

牛蛙喜欢温暖的天气，天气变冷时，它们会挖到泥里冬眠。#动物世界##英语#
