Meet the goliath frog!




Meet the goliath frog! This beast is the largest extant anuran on Earth. They can grow up to 33cm (13 inches) from snout to vent, and can weigh up to 3.2kg. They have a fairly small habitat range, mainly in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea and sadly their numbers are dwindling due to habitat destruction. They are also hunted for both consumption and for the pet trade.
