In Texas, you can find 4-foot long snakes, and possibly bullfrogs the size of a small dog!
A picture of a South Texas man holding an alleged 13-pound frog is setting social media ablaze, and is making people question whether or not it's the real deal or just a nifty photoshop job.
KVUE reached out to Markcuz Rangel, who shared the mesmerizing photos on Facebook through the South Texas Hunting Association. Rangel said he caught the monstrous frog while out hunting at a fishing pond in Batesville, Texas.
He claims the photos are 100 percent real, and that he has caught others in the past.
Texas Parks and Wildlife confirmed his claim that at least the photo is real.
"It's obviously an optical illusion because he held it towards the camera," said Steve Lightfoot with Texas Parks and Wildlife.
While the picture may be real, Lightfoot isn't so sure about the alleged weight of the frog. Typically, bullfrogs are no bigger than a pound.
"Don't believe everything you see on the internet," Lightfoot said.
Another thing that is confirmed is that the South Texas Association post is certified viral. It's been shared more than 100,000 times and has over 15,000 likes and counting.
