The Frog From Hell

A new species of frog that lived 65 - 70 million years ago has been unearthed in Madagascar. The Frog dubbed Beelzbufo or the frog from hell has been identified but some of the best scientist at London Uni and Stony Brook Uni (NY). This discovery has also provoked theories that India, South America and Madagascar where interlinked until late into the age of dinosaurs.

Resembling he current Living Horned toads the Hell Frog had huge heads and jaws and a flat but wide body. A body length (not including the legs) of up to 40cm means this bad boy was fairly big. This would also lend itself to speculation into the eating habits of this Hell Frog. Did this animal eat small or un hatched dinosaurs or was it a big veggie eater.

Professor Susan Evans of the UCL Department of Cell & Developmental Biology says: “If it shared the aggressive temperament and ‘sit-and-wait’ ambush tactics of living Horned toads, it would have been a formidable predator on small animals. Its diet would most likely have consisted of insects and small vertebrates like lizards, but it’s not impossible that Beelzebufo might even have munched on hatchling or juvenile dinosaurs."
