Zoo Buddy: Bullfrogs!

MONROE, La. (KNOE) - In today’s Zoo Buddy segment, we’re highlighting a Louisiana staple, the American bullfrog.

This buddy is in the Reptile Building at the Louisiana Purchase Gardens and Zoo in Monroe. While crews put the final touches on the Louisiana Purchase Exhibit, the Reptile Building is closed. It will be open soon; zoo staff ask you to be patient!

American bullfrogs live in water, so you can find them in rivers, bayous, lakes, and even man-made structures.

You can also volunteer with the zoo. Contact the Louisiana Purchase Zoological Society through their Facebook page.

The zoo is open every day of the week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can get tickets to feed the budgies, feed the tortoises, ride the boat, or ride the train at the front office. You can reach them at (318) 329-2400
