00:00Hi guys, this is Kibwana, and he is an African bullfrog, also known as a pixie frog.

00:07Not much pixie about him though, is there? It's just from their scientific name.

00:11But African bullfrogs like Kibwana here, they are actually great fathers.

00:16So on Father's Day, think about a cool bullfrog.

00:19These guys will really watch out for their young, and the males, like Kibwana here,

00:23will actually dig trenches from puddle to puddle out in the wild,

00:26so that their babies don't get lost in the drought.

00:29Pretty cool animal right here.

00:31If we were able to open his mouth, you would see Kibwana here has big fangs.

00:36And he has fangs so that he can eat big food items, like rodents out in Africa.

00:41Pretty cool little animal here, but I bet you're wondering about now,

00:45why is that guy wearing gloves?

00:47Well, it's because frogs can actually breathe through their skin.

00:50So we want to make sure that we're not passing on anything that might make Kibwana sick.

00:54The Kibwana African bullfrog, pretty cool frog right here.

00:58Really, really big frog too.
