The Coleman Frog is a {{convert|19|kg|lb|abbr=on}} taxidermy frog on display at the Fredericton Region Museum in Fredericton, New Brunswick. It was previously owned by a man named Fred Coleman, who ran a nearby lodge in the 1880s. The frog was captured from Killarney Lake, at which time it weighed {{convert|7.3|lb|kg}}.[1][1] Supposedly, the immense size of the frog was caused by the fact that Coleman fed it whiskey and whey. It died in a "dynamite accident" and was sent to Bangor, Maine to be stuffed.[2] Skeptics say that the frog is a fake that was used to promote a cough syrup that would "relieve the frog in your throat".[3] The Museum will not allow DNA testing to be done on the frog to confirm if it is real or fake.[3][4] References1. ^{{cite news | url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1928&dat=19790412&id=DGEgAAAAIBAJ&sjid=wmUFAAAAIBAJ&pg=1439,2039525&hl=en | title=Story of famous "Coleman Frog" | work=The Lewiston Daily Sun | date=Apr 12, 1979 | agency=Christian Science Monitor | accessdate=May 16, 2015 | pages=7}} 2. ^1 {{cite web | url=https://yorksunburymuseum.wordpress.com/2009/06/24/the-coleman-frog/ | title=The Coleman Frog | publisher=York Sunbury Museum | date=June 24, 2009 | accessdate=May 16, 2015}} 3. ^1 {{cite web | url=http://hoaxes.org/weblog/comments/coleman_frog | title=The Coleman Frog | publisher=Museum of Hoaxes | date=July 30, 2007 | accessdate=May 16, 2015}} 4. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.canada.com/story.html?id=3327c432-bbd3-4710-9da1-26bb69b749e3 | title=Monster frog no bull, says museum manager | work=Canada.com | date=July 28, 2007 | agency=Canwest News Service | accessdate=May 16, 2015}} 4 : Taxidermy|Hoaxes in Canada|Individual frogs|Individual animals in Canada |
