Clarification: blood sucking bullfrogs are actually very tiny

Our recent article on the rise of new types of blood-sucking creatures has generated a lot of interest, but unfortunately for our sense of journalistic pride, most of it was due to a misconception. We mentioned the vampire moth and the land lamprey, but it was our offhand mentioning of the existence of the blood sucking bullfrog that generated the most interest. The vision of giant bloated bullfrogs flying in through open windows (for the few people who didn't read the original article, blood sucking bullfrogs have skin flaps that enable them to glide) kept many people awake at night, and I can't count the number of people who have sent panicked letters asking what to do about these terrifying monsters. However, this happened to be one of those rare instances when we didn't fully verify our information. It turns out that blood sucking bullfrogs, are actually very tiny, at most no larger than a quarter. They are a type of bullfrog, but like sloths and so many other things, are much smaller that their ancestors. And now the blues song "Bullfrog Made Me Sick" suddenly makes a lot more sense, as the blood-sucking bullfrog, which is found in Tennessee, Wyoming, and other places with a lot of marshland, carries a number of communicable diseases.
