Well, that is not what I expected! The mountain chicken is actually a giant ditch frog! Brings a new meaning to "Honey, we are having chicken for dinner!"
The mountain chicken is nicknamed such after being preyed upon as a local delicacy on the islands of Montserrat and Dominica where it is found. It supposedly tastes like chicken.

The frogs are huge and can weigh up to a kilogram (2.2 pounds). The species has seen a significant decline over the past 30 years. While the mountain chicken was once fairly common throughout the Lesser Antilles, it now can only be found on Dominica and Montserrat.
