Coleman Frog

The Coleman Frog (also known as Cornelia Webster) is a taxidermy frog on display at the Fredericton Region Museum in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada since 1959. It was previously owned by a man named Fred Coleman, who ran a nearby lodge in the 1880s.
Description.
The frog was captured from Killarney Lake, at which time it weighed . Supposedly, the immense size of the frog was caused by the fact that Coleman fed it whiskey, baked beans, june bugs, buttermilk toddies, and whey. It died in a "dynamite accident" and was sent to Bangor, Maine to be stuffed.
Controversy.
Skeptics say that the frog is a fake that was used to promote a cough syrup that would "relieve the frog in your throat". In a 1988 report, the Canadian Conservative Institute refers to the artifact as consisting of canvas, wax, and paint. In a letter it refers the exhibit as “an amusing example of a colossal fake and deception”. The museum will not allow DNA testing to be performed on the frog, to confirm if it is real or a fake.
