On Monday a group of scientist said they found a frog from millions of years ago dubbed the "devil frog." The frog was discovered in Madagascar. Paleontologist David Krause, one of the scientist who found the frog, said the amphibian may have been the largest frog ever to have lived.
The frog's name, Beelzebufo ampinga (try saying that three times fast, heck I can't even pronounce it), comes from Beelzebub, which means devil in Greek and bufo which means toad in Latin. Ampinga means "shield", named for its armor-like anatomy.
The frog was reported to have weighed in at a whopping ten pounds and was sixteen inches long. (I know a few people who would be in frog leg heaven.) It was a nasty little bugger too. With a very large mouth and a powerful jaw, it was possible the frog ate baby dinosaurs.
Now, I have a few questions for you my readers: What do you think about the frog? What is your stand on evolution and creation? What impact, if any, do you think the discovery of this frog will have on proving or disproving evolution or creation? Express your views by leaving a comment or by creating a blog of your own.
