I wonder if it ate flies as well. That'd make beelzebufo most appropriate.

What next, if they find a bigger one? helluvabufo reallyquitelargia?

From Columbia Encyclopedia:

Baal-zebub (b?'?l-z?'b?b) [Heb.,=lord of flies], a deliberate Hebrew distortion of the name of the god of Ekron in 2 Kings. In the Gospels of Mark and Luke, Beelzebul, the Greek form of the epithet Baal-zebul [Baal the Prince], is encountered. See Baal and Satan.

"Its name, Beelzebufo ampinga, came from Beelzebub, the Greek for devil, and bufo — Latin for toad"

Morons, "Beelzebub" is derived from the Hebrew. The Greeks had nothing to do with it.

One would think that with the whole WEB available for quick look-ups that whoever wrote that nonsense would have checked the source.
