A new case of alert about a possible menace to native fauna of amphibians in Colombia: first report of the bull frog (Lithobates catesbeianus) in the savanna of Bogota
Description
Two specimens of bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) in two different localities of Bogota are reported. Knowing the devastating effect that this species produces to the native populations of amphibians where it is introduced, we warn of the possible danger that the species of amphibians of the sabana of Bogota can suffer if no controls on the management and trade of this species are done
