WASHINGTON (Reuters) - It was the biggest, baddest, meanest froggy ever to have hopped on Earth.
Scientists on Monday announced the discovery in northwestern Madagascar of a bulky amphibian dubbed the "devil frog" that lived 65 million to 70 million years ago and was so nasty it may have eaten newborn dinosaurs.

This brute was larger than any frog living today and may be the biggest frog ever to have existed, according to paleontologist David Krause of Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, New York, one of the scientists who found the remains.Beelzebufo (pronounced bee-el-zeh-BOOF-oh) was 16 inches long and weighed an estimated 10 pounds (4.5 kg).
Two thoughts...
Jabba was real
Bet the French would be glad this frog was still around.

Three of those frogs could conquer France.

I saw this in the paper. Neat! Whoever thought a frog could be intimidating.

It just got a whole lot easier bein' green!

The amphibian analogue of the 800-lb gorilla, with all the same jokes...

Where does a 10-lb frog sit? On any lily-pad he wants to..., etc.

Provided he finds one that'll support his weight.
