Giant Frog Fossil Found in Madagascar

Its about two to three times the size of the largest frog species today, and they're calling it Beezlebufo ampinga because of its massive size.  What is odd about this species of frog is that it is may be an ancestor to South American frogs rather than African frogs, the finding may bring into question how the continents broke up tens of millions of years ago.
