Beelzebufo was a large frog discovered in the Upper Cretaceous of Madagascar.
The media called it 'Devil Toad', and 'The Frog From Hell'.
The frog lived  some 70 million years ago.
With a body length of about 16 inches (40.5 cm) the frog was larger than any living frog.
Its weight in life was about 9-10 lbs (4.5 kg).
The Beelzebufo was a member of the horned toad sub-family, the Ceratophryinae.
Living members of the family are found only in South America, but were once more widely distributed in Gondwana.
Both South America and Madagascar were part of the supercontinent Gondwana before it broke up in the Cretaceous.
Beelzebufo was an ambush predator whose wide mouth let it eat relatively large prey, perhaps even juvenile dinosaurs.
It probably lived in warm, seasonally dry habitats with occasional pools of water.
Its modern relatives live in similar habitats, and can burrow.
The Upper and Lower Fezouata formations of Morocco are Burgess Shale type deposits dating to the Lower Ordovician.
In the fossilized fauna were numerous organisms previously thought to have died out after the mid-Cambrian.
The discovery proves conclusively that the Burgess Shale biota did not go extinct in the Cambrian.
Over 1500 non-mineralized Burgess Shale types, representing 50 taxa, have been recovered from the formations.
There are also a less abundant shelly fauna.
The make-up of the community varies significantly through the stratigraphic sequence, with both abundances and faunal composition changing as time progresses.
Small (1–3 mm wide) burrows are present in the sediment, but major burrowing is absent; this may suggest a paucity of oxygen in the water or sediment.
Particularly notable is the presence of bryozoa and graptolites, forms that are absent in the Cambrian period.
Various echinoderms indicate a normal range of salinity, and the overall shelly assemblage is not significantly different from the normal shelly fauna expected in open Ordovician waters.
The non-mineralized (soft-bodied)  fossils contains a range of forms familiar from the Burgess Shale.
Other Ordovician oddballs are also present, including cheloniellids and horseshoe crabs in abundance.
Depositional setting
The fossiliferous strata were deposited in quiet, deep waters, below the influence of wave action in all but the fiercest of storms.
Such storms, or similar high-energy events, would have mobilized sediment that could be quickly deposited, trapping animals and leading to their preservation.
Consequently, the assemblage is dominated by benthic organisms.
Fossils of the Fezouata formation, which are usually squashed flat (although some do retain some degree of their original three-dimensionality) are often coated with a dusting of pyrite, and tin; this aspect of the fossil preservation is very similar to that at Chengjiang.
Non-mineralized appendages are often preserved.
The fossils a span an area of 500 km2, in southeast Morocco's Draa Valley, north of Zagora.
Fossils are found are found through a 1.1 km-thick column of rock that spans the two lowest epochs of the Ordovician.

A Wolf spider is a member of the group of spiders whose scientific name is the Lycosidae.
Lycos means "wolf" in Greek.
These spiders get their name from the way they hunt, which the people who named them thought was like the way wolves hunt.
However, wolves hunt in packs but spiders are solitary animals.
Their way of hunting is more like that of solitary cats such as the cheetahs.
They generally wait for their prey to wander close by, and then they rush in to kill it.
The wolf spiders belong to a large group.
The smallest are less than 0.04 inches (1 mm) in body length.
The largest are around 1.5 inches (38 mm) in body length.
Some wolf spiders spend all of their lives above ground (taking the best shelter they can find), others dig burrows but come out of the burrows to wander about and hunt, and some spend almost all of their lives waiting for passing insects in their burrows.
One species of wolf spider gives us the name that is now used in English for an entirely different kind of spider.
This is Hogna tarantula because it found around Taranto, a city in Italy.
People there once believed that if a human were bitten by one of these wolf spiders, they would surely die unless made to do a wild dance.
Actually, Hogna tarantula does not give bites that need medical help.
Any deaths from spiders in the area of Taranto probably came from the local Widow spider.
After a female wolf spider mates, she creates a clear space on the ground, lays down a rough sheet of silk, and on top of that sheet she makes a silken cup in which she lays her eggs.
She next closes the cup, making a round ball, and holds onto it using her spinnerets until the babies begin to hatch.
She then opens the silk ball and lets the baby spiders come out.
They all run up her legs and cover the top part of her body.. There may be more than one hundred baby spiders on her back.
As you can see from the second photograph, mother wolf spiders carry their baby spiders around on their backs.
They protect the babies for a few days, and then the babies leave her and go off on their own.
Is it a wolf spider?
There are several kinds of spiders that look almost like wolf spiders.
The best way to be sure is to look at the eyes.
There are four small eyes at the bottom, then two very large eyes, then two somewhat smaller eyes.
Various kinds of wolf spider

Education in the United States is provided by the public sector.
The federal, state and local governments control and give funds to help local schools.
Public education is available everywhere in the United States.
School's curriculum, funds, teaching, employment and other policies are created by the elected school boards.
School districts are sometimes different from other local jurisdictions.
They have their own officials and budgets.
Education standards and state tests are created by the state governments.
Since child education is required by law, ages to start school are different from each state.
Children usually start school between the ages of five to six.
They usually end their education when they are between the ages of seventeen and eighteen.
Education requirements can be done by educating children in public schools, private schools (who is known by the government to be trusted) or a home school program.
In most public schools, education is divided into three levels.
The first level is elementary school.
Grades in elementary school are different in each state.
The second level is middle school.
Grades in middle school are different in each state as well.
The last level is high school.
In some states, middle school is called "junior high school".
Grades in high school are also different in each state.
After a child has completed their senior year (12th grade), they will earn a high school diploma.
If a child would like to continue on with their education or want to start a career, they can apply for college.
After four years at a university or college, they will earn a bachelor's degree in one subject.
Students can also choose to attend a two-year community college.
Some two-year community colleges are called "Junior colleges".
Colleges are not required and are not forced by local laws.
Students must pay to attend college, but the price is lowered if they get a scholarship.
After college, the now adult can earn a number of certificates for a career.
Graduate school is another option after college.
A student can earn a master's degree or Ph.D. in any subject.
They may go to medical school to earn an M.D. and become a physician, law school to earn a J.D. and become a lawyer, or business school to earn an MBA.

January 29 – Timothy Bradley defeats Devon Alexander by a tenth round technical decision.
The fight was stopped due to a cut Alexander had received from an accidental headbutt in the third round, which was made worse by two more headbutts in the eighth round and an final fourth headbutt in the tenth round.
Both fighters came in with undefeated records and the fight was initially praised as one of the few good match-ups between two top ranked Americans in recent years.
With the win, Bradley unified the light welterweight titles by defending his WBO title and winning Alexander's WBC title.
February 19 – Nonito Donaire defeats Fernando Montiel by technical knockout in the second round to unify the WBO and WBC bantamweight titles.

In the second round Donaire started landing a few combinations before finishing Montiel with a solid hook that knocked out his opponent.

However following the fight Solís was taken to a hospital, where a scan revealed tears to his anterior cruciate ligament and external meniscus, as well as cartilage damage in his right knee.

February 12 – Budweiser Shootout
February 20 – Daytona 500 — Trevor Bayne, a NASCAR rookie without a full-time Cup Series ride and starting only his second Cup race, becomes the youngest driver ever to win the race, on the day after his 20th birthday.
He is also the first driver to win the race in his first attempt since the inaugural Daytona 500 in 1959.
June 12 – 5-hour Energy 500 — Jeff Gordon collects his 84th Cup Series victory, equaling Darrell Waltrip for the most Cup wins in NASCAR's modern era (1972–present).
July 9 – Quaker State 400 — For the first time since 2001, a new track enters the Cup Series, with Kentucky Speedway making its debut.
Kyle Busch's win, however, is largely overshadowed by massive traffic bottlenecks that reportedly prevented as many as 20,000 of the 107,000 ticketed fans from entering the track.
July 16 – New England 200 — Kyle Busch wins his 49th Nationwide Series race, equaling the series record of Mark Martin.
This was also Busch's 100th win in NASCAR's three national touring series, a feat previously accomplished only by Richard Petty and David Pearson.
August 15 – Heluva Good!
Sour Cream Dips at The Glen — Marcos Ambrose becomes the first Australian ever to win a Cup Series race.
August 26 – Food City 250 — Kyle Busch takes sole possession of the career record for Nationwide Series victories with his 50th win.
September 6 – AdvoCare 500 — Gordon wins his 85th Cup Series race, giving him sole possession of the record for Cup wins in the modern era.
