"A frog the size of a bowling ball, with heavy armor and teeth, lived among dinosaurs millions of years ago — intimidating enough that scientists who unearthed its fossils dubbed the beast Beelzebufo, or Devil Toad.
But its size — 10 pounds and 16 inches long — isn't the only curiosity. Researchers discovered the creature's bones in Madagascar. Yet it seems to be a close relative of normal-sized frogs who today live half a world away in South America, challenging assumptions about ancient geography." http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hh__0QL...L6OvggD8UT037O3 Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit......CHOMP Z -------------------- Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one should be silent.

Whoa!
Tha'd be some serious frog legs! If they go back before the first chicken, we may have to start saying that chicken tastes like frog! On the other hand, if chickens were around, this thing would have been eating them. -------------------- I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant!  |
