Size estimation of Beelzebufo. In early studies, it is suggested that Beelzebufo had snout-vent lengths of up to 42.5 cm (16.7 in). [1] But in later studies, animals of this species estimated to have grown to at least 23.2 cm (9.1 in) (snout-vent length), which is around the size a modern African bullfrog can reach. [5]
The arrival of the American bullfrog has been harmful to many native species, but Heinzman said that the northern leopard frog's populations are alarmingly low, with only one site in the State ...
