Killer Frog (aka Khorat Big-mouthed Frog)

In a story reminiscent of the "Killer Rabbit" from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, scientists in Thailand have discovered a new species of frog with a hearty appetite. This frog has some nasty fangs, powerful jaws, and a diet that includes birds. Males also use their fangs to fight other males.

This is one of the newly discovered species highlighted by the World Wildlife Fund in a new report on the Greater Mekong. Click here for more details.

Check out those fangs!
