The Giant Frog That Ate Dinosaurs

Everything was messed up and more dangerous during the Mesozoic. You had theropods, titanic sauropods, fortified ankylosaurs, giant crocs, and frogs. Yes, that's right even the frogs were messed up as demonstrated by Beelzebufo the dinosaur eating giant, that may have been the largest frog to ever live.

This video blew my mind! Beelzebufo, the devil frog, emerges as a true heavyweight of the Cretaceous period. Its unique adaptations, including bone armor and a ferocious bite, make it a standout among ancient amphibians. The discussion on its potential role in the ecosystem, as both predator and prey, offers valuable insights into the dynamics of prehistoric life. A definite highlight for anyone with an interest in paleontology or natural history!

@ABC-tt7qe Ай бұрын

I had a weird dream once, long before I’d even known these frogs existed. They were were green, the color of grass, camouflaging seamlessly in the scenery. They hunted in large packs of 6-10 and were the size of large cats. Their tongues were very powerful and extremely sticky and once it attached to something, it had the force to yank off one’s arm as it pulled it back. They would then collectively tear off chunks of their prey with their tongues and digest them alive. The dream was so unsettling and frightening, I hopped on Google to see if such a thing ever existed, and as it turns out, the damn thing did. I’ve had so many different weird dreams about prehistoric insects, sea life and animals, it’s crazy. Always makes me wonder if there’s some validity to them, just as I’d dreamt of these demons.

Like I'm watching live television at home and they're doing an interview with a respected expert, and he comes on screen and it is my wonderful handsome son beezlebufo who looks so good in his suit on TV!

Wow, they’re similar in size to the Goliath frog… I always thought _Beelzebufo_ was like, the size of miniature horse, or a sheep, or something like that! When articles mention that it ate “baby dinosaurs” and other things, which is absolutely possible, I was picturing it being significantly bigger and eating adult dromaeosaurs, like medium-sized species. But then again, prehistoric insects (and their larvae) were also larger and likely made up a large percentage of amphibian’s diets.

Due to the shape of a frog’s skull which has very little in the way of muscle connections for masseter, temporal and such: I can pretty confidently say 2200 newtons is either a typo or a misread. It doesn’t matter how big the frog’s mouth was, frog skulls aren’t designed for crushing bite force. For a predator like a leopard which does have a skull specially designed for biting to have only half the bite of a frog is unrealistic and dubious. The frog would have to be about 50% larger than a leopard due to the physics working against it. Since it is the size of a chihuahua I’m going to call BS.
