largest frog ever! Beezlebufo

Giant "Frog From Hell" Fossil Found in Madagascar
just released to the media, 70 million year old frog from Madagascar, Beelzebufo is the largest frog yet known. Last edited by Chlidonias; 20-02-2008 at 06:01 PM. Reason: spelled Beelzebufo wrong.... |

check the measurements though - its not THAT much bigger than the extant goliath frog of west africa.

that article just says 41cm high (whatever "high" means) and 4.5kg. Goliath frogs are up to 3kg and up to 36cm snout-to-vent length. I'd say Beelzebufo was quite a lot bigger.

year of the frog
21-02-2008
At least this story is nicely timed for Amphibian Ark's 'Year of the Frog' campaign - does anybody know what zoos have planned to celebrate all things amphibian? With Attenborough's Life in Cold Blood on TV at the moment, hopefully the public will support this campaign as much as last year's M.A.D about Madagascar.
You might like to visit my website drmidas.co.uk where there are links to the campaign - I'll be adding the 'big frog' story to my Madagascar news section soon too. Susan
