Beelzebufo most likely was a predator whose expansive mouth allowed it to eat relatively large prey, perhaps even juvenile dinosaurs. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] Bite force measurements from a growth series of Cranwell's horned frog ( Ceratophrys cranwelli ), suggest that the bite force of a large Beelzebufo —skull width 15.4 cm (6.1 in)—may have been ...
The remains have been lost, but the sacrum drawing remains. It suggests a sacrum of almost 1.3 m (4.3 ft) long, [432] making it the largest dinosaur sacrum discovered so far, except those of Argentinosaurus and Apatosaurus. [433] In 2010, the femur of a large sauropod was discovered in France. The femur suggests an animal that grew to immense ...
