That is FRANCIS.
He's a Pyxie Frog, otherwise known as an African Bullfrog. Very big and ill-tempered. This guy isn't even done growing. They are the second largest frog species in the world.
Yeah this is the type of frog that I caught not too long ago. He was the size of a bucket..not kidding...
hes called a Sonoran Desert Toad
DESCRIPTION: up to 7", one of the largest native toads in North America. Upper body is uniform olive color. Has large parotoid glands behind eyes and a white tubercle (bump) behind the mouth on each side. Male's call is surprisingly weak and sounds like a low-pitched ferry whistle.
NATURAL HISTORY: Previous name was Colorado River Toad. Occurs in a variety of habitats, from desertscrub to oak-pine woodland and may be seen some distance from water (also commonly found in swimming pools). A potent toxin is released from the parotoid glands and other glands that can kill dogs (look for pawing at the mouth and excessive salivation and wash out mouth with water). As with all amphibians, always wash your hand after handling.

and here he is in a tide bucket...he takes up like half that thing...and thats a big bucket...
