This Incredible Frog is so Huge That People are Having Issues Believing it's Existing
Frogs are any members of the Anura order, which consists of a diverse and largely carnivorous group of short-bodied, tailless amphibians. The first "proto-frog" fossils were discovered in Madagascar in the early Triassic era while molecular clock dating indicates they may have existed as far back as the Permian, 265 million years ago.
Many have speculated that it is a shell less turtle while others have joked that it is Jabba the Hutt's evolutionary progenitor. However, Jodi Rowley, a Twitter user, a "conservation biologist crazy with frogs," took to clear the air. She verified that the bulbous creature is a frog called the Blunt-headed Burrowing Frog or Glyphoglossus molossus. And the reason it's so big and puffy is that it's inflating itself with air in self-defense, giving it the appearance of being enormous and frightening.
