A team of researchers has discovered the remains of what may be the largest frog ever to exist. The 16-inch, 10-pound ancient frog was found in Madagascar, and may be genetically linked to frogs living today in South America. Paleontologist Dr. David Krause explains more about what he calls "the frog from hell" and what it can tell us about geophysics.
