Beelzebufo the Giant Historical Frog

I read an article about a frog that lived along time ago, its name is Beelzebufo. A team of researchers found a fossil of a giant frog that is as big as a beach ball. The fossil was found in Madagascar. They say it should be in South America because its just like the Pacman frogs. They don't know how Beelzebufo got to Madagascar. Beelzebufo is 16 inches long but weighs only about 10 pounds.

The biggest frog in the world is the Goliath. Its 12.7 inches long and weighs up to 7.2 pounds. Beelzebufo is only 3.3 inches longer then the Goliath frog. Beelzebufo s 2.8 pounds more then the Goliath frog. The Goliath frog is close to Beelzebufos height and weight.

I thought that this article was really cool because I like stuff about historical creatures.
