Beelzebufo, the Devil Toad, was arguably the heaviest frog to ever live. It terrorized creatures in the Late Cretaceous (70-66 million years ago) on the island of Madagascar.
Its mouth allowed it to swallow creatures even larger than itself, including baby dinosaurs. Related to the Pac-Man frogs of today, this voracious amphibian has a massively wide and armored head. It has over 100 teeth, all in its upper jaw.
This skeleton cast was made from scans of the actual bones excavated in Madagascar, with the full support of the paleontologists who excavated, studied, and named this magnificent beast.
Your purchase of this frog supports the Madagascar paleontology collection and its personnel. Â
Fossil Crates also donates a percentage of the sales price directly to the Ankizy Fund, www.ankizy.org, which provides schools and healthcare to children who live in remote villages near numerous paleontologically significant localities.
Frogs are measured via a number called Snout-to-Vent Length (SVL), which is the tip of the nose to the back of the tail. This massively wide behemoth has an SVL of almost 10", longer than any living frog but the Goliath Frog (which is practically skinny in comparison to Beelzebufo's width!). The head is 6.5" wide, wider than just about all frogs are long! As mounted, it is 4 1/4" tall and 12" long.
