Superfrog+101

The horned frog name is very misleading. In fact, the horned frog isn't even a frog. That's right, the horned frog is really a lizard. They call it a frog because it is fat and round just like a frog. The horned frog can, if it gets frightened, shoot a very fine blood from its eyes.

In 1979, John Grace created Superfrog to promote a fun loving atmosphere during the TCU games. The paper said that Superfrog looked like a media type="custom" key="11904540" align="right" width="90" height="90"mixture of a line backer and an alien. How would you like if a big scary creature ran up to you??! Ya, I would be scared too! So in 1999 Superfrog got a makeover. Instead of the "fat and ugly" mascot, Superfrog was now lean and muscular. (This was of course much better than that scary alien thing!)

Superfrog hasn't always been his name. Superfrog was only adopted in 1979, after 30 years of being called "Addy the All American Frog".

The Horned Frog was named State Reptile of Texas in 1992.
