I have two boons on my character, one that allows me to be a Grippli, and one that allows me to use a Giant Frog as a mount, if I have the Divine Bond or mount class feature. Since my Grippli is a ranger, is the Hunter's Bond class feature the same as the Divine Bond class feature, thus allowing me to use a Giant Frog as a mount/animal companion?

Boon Text:
You spurn commonplace mounts for a creature better suited to your personality and your culture’s traditions. If you have the divine bond or mount class feature, instead of choosing an animal companion from the list provided in the class description, you may instead call a mount from the list below so long as you are a member of the corresponding race. You must actually be a member of the listed race; the adopted trait or similar abilities do not grant you access to another race’s traditional mount. If the animal companion statistics for your race’s mount are found in a source beyond the Core Assumption, the source is listed below. You must bring a copy of the listed book to all games in which you use the selected animal companion as though access to the animal companion came from the Additional Resources list.

I believe the frog animal companion is legal for hunters and rangers even without the boon. The boon is to allow cavaliers and paladins to ride a frog.

Sadly, no. Rangers get Hunter's Bond, and a rather limited list of acceptable animal companions. Paladins get Divine Bond, and Cavaliers get Mount.

Paladins and Cavaliers only get mount-able critters, rangers get some other critters as well.

Druids and Hunters get to choose from all the possible companions.

The Mounted Tradition boon you have specifically targets paladins and cavaliers.
