Narrative:

While flying the visual approach, about 10 mi out, I felt something land on my right foot. Reaching down with my right hand, I was surprised to feel something cold and damp, which moved. Asking the captain to take the aircraft, I looked down and saw a large bullfrog hop off my foot and behind the rudder pedals, where it sat looking at me. We landed without incident, and could no longer see the frog. As the passenger deplaned, one told me we had a stowaway frog in the cabin. When the passenger were gone, we found a total of 8 large bullfrogs hiding under the seats. We never found out where they came from.
