Devil Toad

Researchers have found fossils of a frog that is the size of a bowling ball! It is ten pounds and sixteen inches. This frog is just like its relatives that live in South America, but this frog was discovered in Madagascar. It was apparently a very dangerous frog. It's possible that it could've taken down some dinosaurs! Some of the bones that the researcher, Krause, has found date back around 70 million years ago. He's been finding bones since 1933. But just recently Krause and his team put together the bones to assemble the frog.
