    Wow badass! I couldn't imagine a 16 inch horned frog, and the fact that they believe it could have fed on smaller juvie dinosaurs even better

    Interesting how Beelzebufo remains were found in Madagascar, yet the closest presently alive frogs, "Ceratophrys" are in America . Well, this makes my 1,000 post so to me !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
