Today I read a story on a giant frog called the Beelzebufo. Also known as the "devil frog," the name “Beelzebufo” comes from the Greek word for devil (Beelzebub) and the Latin word for toad (bufo). This frog weighs up to 10 pounds and is 60 inches long! They think this frog might be one of the biggest frogs that ever existed.

The scientist thinks that at one point Madagascar, Antarctica, and South America were all connected in a way. They are wondering why they did not find this frog somewhere in South America.

Not only was the frog huge, it was powerful, had a protective shield, an extremely wide mouth and powerful jaws. These features made Beelzebufo capable of killing lizards and other small animals, perhaps even hatchling dinosaurs. These features made Beelzebufo capable of killing lizards and big animals.

The largest living frog today is the goliath frog of West Africa, which can be 12.5 inches long and weigh about 7.2 pounds.

If you ever see this frog please call animal control!!! That is most of the facts about this amazingly big frog!!!
