A 70-million-year-old fossil of a giant frog has been unearthed in Madagascar by a team of UK and US scientists.

The creature would have been the size of a  squashed beach ball  and weighed about 4kg  9lb , the researchers said.

They added that the fossil, nicknamed Beelzebufo or  frog from hell , was  strikingly different  from present-day frogs found on the island nation.
