Yup, depending on the frog.
Bullfrogs and Pig frogs are the most aquatic
of frogs. They like to hang out in water but
will also hunt on land. Ours used to stake out
the area underneath the birdfeeder at night
and snarf up the mice that came to eat
fallen seeds.

Snarf up mice!
Just how big _are_ these frogs? That kinda puts these Bull frogs in
perspective for me.

I never heard of Pig frogs, but bullfrogs can get to be 12". They'll eat
(and sometimes choke to death on) anything they can stuff in their mouths.

=======================
Bullfrogs get L-A-R-G-E! They can cram down a 6 to 7" koi easily. My
husband and I were on the porch enjoying watching several goldfinches
bathing in a pond connected bird-bath. Suddenly and out of seemingly
nowhere a huge frog grabbed one of the birds and jumped into the pond (pre
netting days). I got rid of this bird bath and replaced it with one on a
pedestal.

The frog was probably hidden under the Hostas.

Pig Frogs and Bullfrogs are kissing cousins,
they look a lot alike but Pig Frogs sound like,
well, pigs. Apparently they are even more aquatic
loving than Bullfrogs. They are native to the
extreme south of the USA and all of Florida, what can we
say, if it is strange, odd, unusual, it belongs in
Florida ;-)

And, I take it, they don't have any interest in rum...

No, no interest in rum, in fact they
call: "sWINE, sWINE, sWINE"
