Abstract
Two specimens of bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) in two different localities of Bogotá are reported. Knowing the devastating effect that this species produces to the native populations of amphibians where it is introduced, we warn of the possible danger that the species of amphibians of the Sabana of Bogotá can suffer if no controls on the management and trade of this species are done.
