WASHINGTON (Reuters) - It was the biggest, baddest, meanest froggy ever to have hopped on Earth.

Scientists on Monday announced the discovery in northwestern Madagascar of a bulky amphibian dubbed the "devil frog" that lived 65 million to 70 million years ago and was so nasty it may have eaten newborn dinosaurs.

I was expecting it to be a whole lot bigger than that if it ate hatchling dinosaurs.

But I guess it was big enough to freak out Father Jack so maybe I should be worried too;)

Steamed frog legs are quite tasty. I can only imagine how wonderful a frog of that size would taste. All that meat.....

But it looks quite small. Aren't there toads that size still around today? For a frog, that's huge, though. It must have eaten very small dinosaurs.
