‘Frog from Hell’ that ate baby dinosaurs
A squat beachball sized toad dubbed ‘the frog from Hell’ has been found in Madagascar, where it it once may have snacked on baby dinosaurs and other small animals. The 70 million year-old fossil frog is likened by researchers to a “slightly squashed beach-ball” and has been nicknamed Beelzebufo.
OK you might say…just another weird fossil critter. One can only be glad that these guys aren’t still running (hopping?) around.
But then the artist’s rendition of the appearance started a whole new line of thought:
Anyone else notice the clear familial resemblance to Jabba the Hutt?
