Hensonbatrachus kermiti

Hensonbatrachus kermiti is a species of frogs from the late Cretaceous period that was discovered in Alberta, Canada. The species was first described in 2015 by Dr. Jim Gardner and Dr. Donald Brinkman. 
Hensonbatrachus is known from skull bones, ilia, and a humerus. It was a moderate-sized frog, with an estimated body length of 75 to 115 mm. The external surfaces of its skull bones are ornamented with bony ridges and its upper jaws bore many small teeth.
The species was given the name in honor of Jim Henson and Kermit the Frog.
