I meant to have this ready for but oh well. A giant Eocene frog eats a penguin in what will one day be southern Chile. Based on fragmentary remains of a frog maybe 60 cm from snout to vent- quite a bit bigger than Beelzebufo! Also... salt tolerant, perhaps, maybe?

This male Megacerops is about to take a chunk out of a rival's Brontotheriidae buttocks. Brontotheriidae are a family of now extinct odd-toed hooded animals that lived in Eocene North America. They were built like rhinos, but are more closely related to horses.
