I was walking home and i saw the biggest frog. It was like foot long and 1 foot wide maybe a little bigger but not much and the wierdest blue color. Next time I see him Ill give you a pic. But when I was like 7 they would always scare the hell out of me cuz one bit me foot.

I don't think these frogs are anything "unexplained". I've seen big frogs at the zoo before.

Don't lick it btw.

The goliath frog is the biggest frog in the world, but not the right
continent.

Don't lick it btw.

yeah........

Definitely not unexplained i saw those in the poconos, unfortunately i dont know what they are called

Were you drunk?

Frogs that big don't live in N. America...You probably just saw a large bullfrog and exagurrated it...

Could have been someone's exotic pet escaped.

And he said not to lick it because some frogs produce a toxin that can cause a hallucinogenic high.

No frog is that big...

The Goliath frog's body can grow to literally just under 1ft, and with it's legs stretched it is roughly 2ft head to toe.

I agree with Coldethyl, probably an escaped pet.

Actually, according to the site given about the goliath frog, it can grow up to a foot long. There is an African Bullfrog in the zoo near us that is easily 10 inches in diameter. Not blue though.

1 foot wide and blue...No frog like that exists...The Goliath is a grey-green, the Bull-frog a green, and the Cane toad a brown..

Great advice. That's right up there with, "Don't eat yellow snow."

thats a big freaking frog..

we have many of those frogs around here. I have seen only two though. They are HUGE!

HUGE is very descriptive, folks

(sarcasm)

Even more descriptive are photos.

Goliath Frog from east Africa.



And a vid with David Attenborough.

I have seen bullfrogs eat mice, and other frogs also...But never a blue frog a foot across...

wouldn't a blue frog be poisonous?

I would say that a blue frog would be poisonous. As far as I'm aware all anurans produce toxins that are expelled from the skin. Some are obviously more deadly than others. In some (ie. the more "commonly encountered" species) the toxicity is pretty much either low or negligable.

That's just beautiful.

I love seeing that. Makes me all tingly!!!
