SERIOUS FACTS ( ANIMAL )
The largest frog in the world is
called Goliath frog
Most frogs can fit in the palm of your hand, or even on the tip of your finger. But the Goliath frog (Conraua goliath), the world’s largest frog, may grow up to 13 inches long when it is stretched out and can weigh as much as a newborn baby, about 7 lbs (3.2 kg).
The Goliath frog’s greenish brown color helps to hide it among wet moss-covered rocks in fast-flowing rivers in the dense coastal rainforest of Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea in western Africa. Unlike most other frogs and toads, Goliath frogs have no vocal sac and so courtship does not involve displaying any calls. They mainly are vegetarian but adult Goliath frogs will also prey on crabs, locusts, worms, smaller frogs etc. The Goliath frog can live up to 15 years.
