    Apparently it had spiky armor to protect itself from dinosaurs and other predators, but sadly it was smaller than previously thought- about the size of modern day African bullfrogs. (Remember when it was said to be the size of a beach ball? :(

    Also, they couldn´t be bothered with having a new, updated illustration of what it actually looked like:

    Illustration shows it with what apparently may be Bufo calamitus (Natterjack Toad) which are not really that big either.

    A size comparison with the cane toad or even better, the Goliath frog, would have been welcome... :(

    But then it would have looked less impressive by comparison...
