How do they know it lived with dinosaurs? The evidence shown is very weak.

They found one in the pocket of a fossilized dinasaur.

Its closest relative is found in the Seychelles Archipelago, near Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. India and The Seychelles were once part of the same land mass, but separated 65 million years ago.

Not that weak to me.

You've got to be kidding me.
Hey, I've got some land in Arizona that you can buy. You can see the ocean from the front porch. I'll show you some photos if you want!

I'll read up on the actual article itself, but that statement isn't exactly "out there". What's so hard to believe about it?

It means that this frog's lineage and its relative's lineage split 65 million years ago. I guess they are closely related so they say that the frogs haven't evolved much since then.
