Scientists have found a fossil of a giant frog in Madagascar. The frog was the size of a bowling ball. It had heavy armor and teeth. It weighed around 4.5 kilograms. It lived 65 million to 75 million years ago and probably ate baby dinosaurs. Scientists have called it Beelzebufo, or Devil Frog. It is an ancestor of frogs that now live in South America. (AP)
