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

Bullfrogs cannot be seen in Egypt, only heard.

Source

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

They 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.

Use

Note: There is no physical item received when a Bullfrog is caught. They take up no space, weigh nothing and cannot be dropped.

Capturing

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 endurance timer. There is no timer if you are successful in a capture attempt.

Useful Information

  • Bullfrog Hunting Guide
  • 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.
  • Frogs appear to despawn before 6am if they have been out for some amount of time and not caught. - Snoerr
  • I could hear the frog 80 coordinates from where I caught it. Hope this helps people in the future. One of the previous guides said no more than 60. - Tesa
  • One tactic is to pick up mud (or sand), and drop it 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." - Artinum
