I’ll show more respect next time I squish one.

Why would you kill one? They eat all the bad insects.

I recall an old Farside cartoon of a passenger jet flying away with a frog stuck to it by the tounge.

The word “bufo” suggests a toad, not a frog.

Probably ate birds, insects, reptiles, mammals and small dinosaurs.

“Beelzebufo Ampinga”

Sounds like a guy from the hood. Toss in a few apostrophes and other marks...Beelze’bufo Am-pinga.

Actually, I may have to change my FR handle to Beelzebufo Ampinga — the Dino-eating FROG! Stand back, give me room to breathe! Ribbit!

“powerful enough to obliterate small dinosaurs.” can we clone one to tackle hillary (assuming its stomach could handle something that nasty?)

Here in North Texas there’s a slab of rock millions of yeas old that bears impressions of human and dinosaur footprints side by side.

I’d say that’s proof positive that ancient Texans hunted the dinosaurs to extinction.

At the National Zoo, I saw a frog get a predatory glint in its eye and try to catch a bird that was drinking nearby. The bird was as big as the frog, and the frog was unsuccessful.

But with a slightly bigger frog and smaller bird, I can believe that frogs eat dinosaurs, even today.

Birds are the only living class of dinosaurs. They survived the catastrophic event that wiped out the other dinosaurs.
