Bullfrogs can be heard and caught between '''6pm and 6am''' (evening/night) Egyptian game-time.

University Text: '''Bullfrogs exhibit almost perfect camouflage, but their distinctive sound gives them away. High Endurance helps capture these creatures.'''

Bullfrogs always live on the edge of water. This can be any type of water, like a pond, a lake, a river or a sea shore. To hear them, at least one sound (it doesn't have to be wildlife) must be enabled on your Audio control panel.

When you want to try to catch the bullfrog, click on yourself (or press Esc key), go to Tests menu, select Test of the Safari, and click on "Capture a bullfrog."

Failing to catch a bullfrog uses the [[Stat Timers|endurance]] timer. There is no timer if you are successful in a capture attempt.

* {{7ok}} [http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale4/Talk:Test_of_the_Safari discussion page] for an alternate method that does not require being able to tell the direction of the frog or the relative loudness of different sounds spaced over a minute apart.

* Good food for Bullfrog hunting is HIGH on '''ENDURANCE''' for lowering cooldown between catching attempts and a fair amount of '''DEXTERITY''' for running.
*To search for bullfrogs more effectively, try searching near a sea shore instead of river bank or small lake/pond. If you search at a river bank, consider the possibility that the bullfrog could be on the other side of the river. In both cases be aware that bullfrogs might be located on small islands in the river or off the coast that are within the hearing range but outside of your reach (even with a [[Ferry Boat]]).
*It helps to use stereo audio equipment (stereo headset/speakers) to pinpoint where the sound comes from (left/right) and determine the loudness of the sound better. The direction of the sound is based on your CAMERA position, not your character position.
*There are a number of different sounds, but they usually lead to the same bullfrog. Sounds usually play at least once per minute, sometimes more frequent.
*Go to the exact location where the sound is loudest and where a specific direction cannot be distinguished. You should be on top of the location of the bullfrog.
*When the bullfrog is not captured, move around 1 or 2 coordinates and try again.
* {{7}}Timer appears to have changed for T5 - frogs may reset at midnight Egyptian time. -Farnite

*For the hearing impaired or non-cooperative sound setups this simple PC program will help http://windows-vu-meter.software.informer.com/download/ Use it's options to display as vertical, and "Always on top".

* Something I found quite useful is to carry a stock of cheap mats (grass, wood, etc). Place one where you first hear the bullfrog. Then travel in the direction of the sound a fair distance and drop another. Wait there until it sounds again. If the bullfrog is the other way, it must be between the two points - drop a third item in the middle and listen for the sound again. If it's further on, place another item a good distance in that direction. Repeat until you narrow it down to a very local area, and you should be able to catch it quite easily." - [[User:Artinum|Artinum]]
