- Enjoy spending some time with my African Bullfrog, Samson. He likes taking long soaks in his water feature and eating a variety of foods. In this video, we take a look to see what he likes best.
In all seriousness though, I wanted to make a fun and display of these incredible animals. They're beautiful, have awesome personalities, and are actually quite intelligent. Enjoy!

"African Bullfrogs are specialized in eating." "Ah you mean they're really accurate, agile hunters like tree frogs?" "... No no, I said eating, not hunting."
Precisely
@@SerpaDesign this was amazing to watch
same
Oh absolutely. Reminds me of me 🤣
Insert the clip of the bullfrogs flying at eachother
Heis the most graceless creature I've seen and I love him.
he is flipping huge. i love him too
He's one of the flat fat frogs, they're all the most graceless creatures.
I love how he's so big and round and when he walks away he just... extends these go-go-gadget legs out of seemingly nowhere 😂
I feel like Bullfrogs are simultaneously impossible to overfeed and the easiest pet to overfeed. They eat so much and in the wild are opportunistic and should be “kinda fat” but also they will basically eat as much as you give them. Awesome video!!!!! Samson is a BEAST!!!!!
Grandma: you are just skin and bones EAT something!
Me:
100% muscle?
thats also how i eat my popcorn
Yes
😂😂👌😉
@Bella Thedoggo But you've probably never had authentic Japanese food! That stuff is nothing like the Americanized version. It's way, way, way better! 😄
@* ThatFluffyJot * damn bruh, irish dolphin statue is now living in my head, rent-free.
just so you know, when you say huge im thinking huge, like 150 feet tall, solid bronze statue.
lol
...Did I just watch a frog mukbang? What a legend.
It's amazing how delicate Samson's skin looks while having such a... robust physique. Nice to get a good look at him in action!
How many Big Macs can this dude slam?
The answer is yes
As many as you can put in front of him!!
Yes
ALL OF THEM!

I finally found something with worse accuracy than bad guys in a movie shooting 😭
Yep Samson had about the same accuracy as Storm Troopers.
Or me playing video games
@@corvina_y wow 🤣
@@corvina_y 😂
I have a feeling if sammy was big enough: he would try to eat tanner
Ive owned frogs and they would try and eat your gloved fingers sometimes because they think it’s a worm 😭
Oh yes for sure
Thanks, elephant sized African Bull Frogs sounds like a nightmare I'm going to have tonight 😟
Tanner is using tongs so he doesn't have to retrieve a finger.
Based on my knowledge of frogs, I'm sure he tries to eat Tanner now. 😂
It's amazing as much as they miss they manage to survive out in the wild lol. Very entertaining to watch though.
The only thing I could think about
I’d assume one that grew up in the wild would be more accurate but captive ones don’t need to be to survive
I guess it also helps that some prey items are slow as dirt, once you manage to find them (worms, grubs, slugs, etc)
Natures Storm Troopers!😂
Because bugs are even dumber
I feel like you can slowly see him getting wider and wider. At the end of the video he's like a puddle of stomach folds. It's incredible that he still manages to walk at the end. Very beautiful. Very powerful.
I just adore how his face is both totally blank and really expressive at the same time lmao
Hahaha 😂
Clearly a top tier apex predator we're dealing with here.
I love him. I love how if he's not interested, he just walks away 😂 such a personality. oh. My. Goodness. Him using his little hands to eat 😍😍
So many popular youtube herpers don't wear gloves when handling amphibians, and when I call them on it get yelled at. Particularly when they are out "herping" in the wild handling many different individuals, and spreading Chytridiomycosis and teaching their viewers bad habits. So good for you Tanner, giving a good example!
Hear, hear!
Lol get a life😆
You cannot spread anything to amphibians. This is a myth promulgated by conservation extremists to dissuade the general public of touching animals. Not all people are PC enough to wear gloves and masks in the wild.
@@stefanostokatlidis4861 you can have your opinion of course, but researchers have hygiene protocols for handling amphibians because the science is clear. Please don't conflate covid politics with Chytridiomycosis.
@@jimmyjames2022 restricting freedoms for the sake of preventing disease transmission and jargon like emergent diseases is for sure political. See what is happening with Covid around you. Mammals are not natural carriers of this fungus. If you sample many amphibians in a sensitive area you may need to get precautions, but the average person does not do this. Many researchers also advocate for disinfecting equipment and other materials which had contact with the habitat of amphibians. Do you know how many vehicles come and go through those areas? There are people who live near amphibian ponds. Should we restrict their movement as well? Nothing is unexpected now, but this is extreme. Others collect amphibians for food in some areas. So this is culturally insensitive as well.Also the disease isn’t usually a big threat in temperate areas with resilient species.
He didn't eat the roaches because they reminded him of being small again. My man is THICC
😭😭😭
"This guy is specialised in eating"
Did he just describe me?
😂
Sammy: "I'm on a seafood diet. I see food, I eat it."
This is the best video I've ever seen
Aquapros - The big fellow has had enough and is trying to tell you to get lost.
Wait till you watch your second video ever
Thanks Tanner I actually have a frog toad lizard phobia and wanna get over it. I must admit it’s helped a bit Sam is quite cute, don’t tell my family I said that they’d never believe it in a million years lol
That's so cool that you're working on your phobias. Takes a brave person to willingly face down their fear. Best of luck to you!
Sammie wanted his own video... this is the idea he came up with. I don't ask questions, I just filmed it. I couldn't plan for any of the things he decided to do. No doubt he was hamming it up for the camera. Enjoy!
EDIT: Just in case you still don't appreciate how incredible these animals are, I'll link up some cool videos.

You should make more videos of him
You should feed him a huge bug or small bird and see how he reacts
I have to say, I really enjoyed this video!
Those texts are amazing make more of these type of videos! Im enjoing
He's a star. I'm not usually into celebrities, but Samson is just so amazing and perfect I can't help but be a fan.
"I'm stuffed. I couldn't eat another bite."
"But it's just a wafer-thin worm?"
"....alright....put it in......"
Perfect reference! Although I hope Samson won't explode.
That's what she said.
I love how much you care for your fish and amphibians friends.
the way that he walks away genuinely seems so sassy and it’s so funny. it’s like a strut.
I love how round this beautiful boy is!! He’s so big and rotund and I’m a big fan of him. He’s got a hilarious personality too and he’s very sassy.
Are you talking about Samson? Or me?
I generally have no interest in frogs, but this was pretty cool to watch. I'd like to see more of the other animals showcased like this too.
this has the comedic factor like a brutalmoose cheap eats review, so freaking good and funny!!! keep this going showcase! I'd love to see more!!
He is so cute 🫠 and his little face is so expressive when he is not feeling a certain snack 😂 i cracked up because it reminds me of my Shih Tzu when she doesn’t like something and she’ll looks back at like it’s one stars.
This was a really interesting video;
plus Sammie can eat 😆
So thanks for sharing this; I’m going to show this to my nephew ✌🏽
That was so much food lol. He’s literally just a stomach with eyes and legs
That's what every animal is
@@cabriskus4700 no
@@Beth_Amphetamine name one animal without a stomach. Eyes. And a leg
@@cabriskus4700 most animals have other distinctive features, obviously 🙄 I was making a point that this frog is a walking, seeing, stomach… and that’s really all.
But a lot of cave dwelling animals don’t have eyes, and some don’t have eyes or legs like the Mexican cave catfish. Do that satisfy you, captain literal?
@@cabriskus4700 Do snakes, worms or fish have legs? Also some moles actually don't have eyes.
It’s pretty amazing that African bullfrogs can survive in the wild LOL
All they do is sit in wait for their meals to come to them. Full stomach apparently lasts a week.
they are invasive species who can threaten the local fauna
I have never seen an animal put such a minimal amount of effort into eating 😂😂😭 this just made my whole morning
I love it when he uses his hands to put the worms in his mouth 🤗 so cute!
The subtitles are too funny 😂
Those aren’t subtitles. That’s how Sammie talks my man. He’s a frog of few words.........
Literally!😂
HE CAN'T BE CONTAINED !!
I heard Dwight Schrute's voice in my head as Samson, lol.
@@effy_kujo I hear James earl Jones. I can just see Samson telling tanner that he hasn’t been fed enough.😂😂
@@seizedcarcass8440 oohh yes, great voice for our Samson!
I love when he goes from a pancake to walking really quick standing up 😂
Serpa: *Makes a video.*
THICC Pickle: *Calls the shots.*
I'm more of a cat person myself, but dang Samson could easily convert me to appreciate and learn about amphibians more 😍 MORE GOOD BOY VIDS PLEASE!!!
You know you really love his videos when you see a random frog and scream SAMSOOONNN in your head lol I love when he uses his hands to eat
Kermit: "It's not easy being green!"
Samson: "Hold my baby dubia roaches..."
😂😂😂😂
I love how you're very knowledgeable about your bullfrog and I enjoyed learning about him, their anatomy and physiology must be very interesting, considering what they eat and how *quickly* they eat. It was amazing how quickly he lunged for and ate that mouse! He definitely fancied eating that! Makes me want to learn more about this fascinating creature, he's awesome! I like how he uses his front legs to help get the food in his mouth. I also love how you have a lot of respect for his welfare and how you're handling him.
Thanks for the upload.
I love the frog speak😂😂 Honestly, I’d love to see more of this bad boy. He’s so much fun. Smart, too.
2:56 I LOVE THOSE CHUBBY LITTLE HANDS
Tanner or 🐸
😅🤣
I love the snake discovery style animal thought things
I honestly keep coming back to this video because it makes me laugh every time. I love seeing you be a little silly and also get to watch your critters!
He didn't even chew the insects.
He just gulped it on whole.
So pretty. The patter on his back looks like gems and stones.
0:02 into the video my daughter says “I gotta have that FROG!” 0:22 into the video she says “I gotta have that SHIRT! 1 out of 2 will do...
So where are you getting the frog?
That is one A+ very good chunky boy and I enjoyed watching him dine.
Hi Tanner! I enjoyed watching Samson eating and loved the captions you added. That was too funny! I think you should do more videos like this, they're fun to watch. Thank you for sharing!
I had one of these "friendly little" guys. It was as big as a softball when I got it, twice that by the time I donated it to a reptile zoo as he outgrew the space I could offer it, ate ANYTHING it could get in its mouth, would attack anything that moved including the net, water droplets, plant leaves that moved, etc. I think it needed some anger management counseling. Lol!
Definitely one of the more interesting animals I've kept over the years. I actually kind of miss the little guy....
8:57 The Forbidden Spaghetti
I always thought frogs had personality. I love the captions!
Omg Tanner what an awesome animal! I love it how you shared his eating habits with us. This with the white background you can really see every detail of Sammy.
Please showcase more and no probs on the mouse. I think the warning will suffice. Keep up the good work!
I love his attitude and how he walks away😂
I lost it at 8:56 when the music starts playing. "Samson in Italy"😁😂👌
Samsung is awesome. Love when he closes his eyes when he gulps it down.
I love the little snapping noise his bite makes, cute.
That little snap sound when he's eating is that something you were adding or is that just a sound he makes me eat? How much does he normally eat and how often do you feed him seems like he's just pounding it back
It's totally real. A frog's tongue snapping out makes a noise. You can look up other videos of ABFs eating things like the Mr Pickles Channel to see other examples of it.
That is what they sound like!
Tanner said in another comment that Sam eats once a week and about this much usually
Look up "crocodile jaw pop" I would assume it's the same phenomenon
This is THE MOST wholesome content on the internet.
@@MrHarrystank thundercunt seems about right
he is so cute when he uses his hands to help him eat
😆Samson is absolutely gorgeous! That clapping sound is so funny!
Smart, there's no more varied diet than absolutely everything :D
I love this kind of videos where you showcase an animal (or several kinds of animals) and just have fun with them. Keep it up 👍
Samson is awesome, so cute, and smart, too! I love the way he shoved the worms in his mouth. I can't wait to see more videos with him.
I love how much you care for your animals! It's what they deserve! I really enjoyed the video, especially because of Sam's dialogues. Keep on sharing amazing content!
This had me laughing lol really funny and entertaining video Tanner!
This video is great. :D
10/10 on the actor, the subtitles and the sound effects.
Almost fell down my chair laughing. XD
This is my favorite SerpaDesign video. I laughed and was amazed by Samson and his very witty repartee. And, he can eat!
His little comments had me rolling, what an adorable chonker!
The editing and exposition of him is awesome! Made me laugh hard at times :D
I’ve never seen these frogs before. I’m amazed how much he can eat! 😱🐸
That was an awesome video! Thank you! I'd love to see more like this! and Samson is a funny dude; love his comments :)
OMGGG…he is large and in charge!!! Samson is soooo cute ❣️❣️🐸
To answer your question: I LOVE this style of video! It's interesting to learn more about the animals and the editing was 👌👌👌
I love the commentary. He is such a chunk!!! So fun. Thank you Tanner!!
Editing Sammy's "thoughts" must have taken hours... Turned out hilarious and well worth the effort 👏👌👍
Samson is a superstar!!! He deserves these luxuries!!!
Hey Tanner!
I'm curious, is this how much he eats every meal? How often do you feed him?
He is such a cute chunky boy 😍
I only feed once a week. Usually about this much, but it varies on the menu. If I feed him a rat, then just one. If I go exclusively with something like nightcrawlers, it will most likely be a whole can. I don't go too heavy on items with hard exoskeletons though. They're usually just an add on item.
@@SerpaDesign Like croutons? LOL
I love that comparison. I guess the juicy bugs like hornworms would be like the veggies in the salad.
Please do more of these. The subtitles are hilarious and my man Sam has definitely got some personality.
He’s so adorable when closes his eyes and swallows
And when he sees the night crawlers and eats it like al dente
At first I thought "that's a lot of food for one frog", then I saw the food next to him and realized it was like snacks.
When Tanner does a live feeding video, it feels right. LOL. Circle of life ... that's nature. I like the bull frog. It's cool. You spoiled that frog. A frog with particular eating habits. :)
The video is great. It's funny. You put a lot of thought into it.
words cannot express how much i love him
Definitely more videos like this of your other animals! This was awesome!
I love videos of these guys, would love to see one in person someday. They're hilarious to watch, but they're also just... Cool.
This was so cool. He’s amazing. I would love more stuff like this for sure. I love learning about animals.
This is a great idea for new content, it`s neat to focus on one animal and it gives some context for why they would want their enclosures to be set up they way they do.
These animals are the coolest. I used to find them a lot when I was younger in the high altitude plateaus of South Africa. So awesome.
This is awesome to watch! Can see so perfectly with the white background too and excellent video quality! 😍🐸 Please post more videos of everyone eating! ☺️
Can you make more vids like this!? I love your terrariums and I can’t wait to make my first this summer 🤩🤩🤩 love getting up close and personal with these lovely animals
The intro is super cool!!
This was the video I didn't know I needed today. Thanks for the laughs, I needed them.
This was really interesting and well filmed. I would love to see more like this.
I could see a new video series, "bullfrog with subtitles!"
YES
2 years later you'll probably never see this, but it's a great connection for me between two of the people I have enjoyed following the most. One of the great animal lovers was Gerald Durrell, who pioneered humane breeding zoos. He wrote hilarious books, and in one of them he had a Bufo bufo who shared his desk. Best wishes.

LMFAO
This was a great idea for a video! I'm shocked by how much Samson can pack in there, I had no idea! Hilarious captions lol
See you all in 3 years when this gets recommended with millions of views
Love seeing the animals! Both in and out of their habitats!
More please
Oh my God, I LOVE him! He is an absolute unit, such a beautiful animal.
