  1. BULLFROGS Natalie Bertelson Sarah Loepp Liz Mejdrich Amber Reed

  2. Hi, kids! I’m Billy the bullfrog! I have a story to tell you.

  3. First, I was in a pet shop. Then a boy adopted me! His name was Jarvin.

  4. Jarvin took me to his home. We had lots of fun together. But Jarvin’s family had to move, and they didn’t want to take me with them!

  5. I was plopped right here on this lilypad. At first I was lonely, but…

  6. BILLY + LILY 4 EVER! …then I met Lily, and, well…

  7. But soon, things weren’t looking great in the swamp… We stopped seeing as many of our other creature friends around… The water and plants weren’t as nice as they used to be!

  8. There were less flies for me to eat, too!

  9. "Why did this happen?"

  10. It’s because bullfrogs are INVASIVE SPECIES

  11. They are animals or plants that enter a new habitat, and hurt the animals and plants that were already living there What are invasive species, you ask?

  12. They compete with native species and disrupt the environment What have bullfrogs done as invasive species?

  13. How can you prevent what happened to me from happening to other animals and habitats? NEVER release your pets into the wild!

  14. Quiz time! Let’s see how much you remember! 1. It was okay for Jarvin’s family to leave Billy at the pond. Yes No 2. Invasive species are good for the environment. Yes No 3. You should never free your pets into the wild. Yes No

  15. Thanks for watching my story! I hope you learned something about invasive species today. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some flies to catch!
