    ..... this is REALLY scary:
    (CBS5) SAN FRANCISCO Killer frogs :2purples: have taken over Golden Gate Park's otherwise peaceful Lily Pond in San Francisco, causing a big problem.
    According to CBS 5 contributor and San Francisco Chronicle columnist Phil Mattier, the city is preparing to do something to stop the African clawed frogs. While they are just 5 inches in length, the frogs are eating everything in sight -- including turtles, fish and other frogs.
    "They've eaten everything they can get their mouths around, and now they're eating each other," Eric Mills of the animal rights group Action for Animals, told Matier for his column.
    No one knows for sure when this frog species got into the pond or who put them there, but now city officials fear the killer frogs will spread throughout the Bay Area.
    "The fear is they will get out,'' Richard Schulke, president of the city's Animal Control and Welfare Commission, told Matier.
    So what do you do when a whole pond is infested with killer frogs? Animal Control has asked the San Francisco Board of Supervisors for the money to drain the pond and eliminate these frogs.
