What is Goliath Frog?

Goliath frog is considered to be the largest types of frogs in the world. It is originally from rainforests of equatorial Guinea and Cameroon in West Africa and has a very limited range, because its tadpoles can generally feed only one type of plant. The Goliath Frog body can reach up to 12.5 inches (33 centimeters) in length or 3 feet (0.9 meters) including legs. They can weigh up to £ 7.2 (3.3 kilograms). These frogs are threatened due to threats from human activity, including hunting, deforestation, construction of dams and international trade in domestic animals.

These frogs are usually brown or greenish. The life of this kind can be up to 15 years and adults will achieve maturity after about one year. Some samples are able to jump almost 10 feet (3 meters) horizontally.

male golios frog is usually greater than a woman. These frogs are unable to spew or any other vocalization. The man of the species is to build a nest to attract a friend, but men will also generally fight each other to getthe attention of a woman. Usually puts eggs in the nest of a stone built on the edge of the water. The woman will often lay several thousand eggs that usually hatch in 85 to 95 days.

The native Goliat frog habitat is very small. They were found only in a few rivers near the coast of equatorial Africa. They usually feed on fish, smaller reptiles, insects and amphibians such as other frogs or salamanders. Goliath frog usually occurs near waterfalls, so much that some local nations consider them a waterfall guard.

The

pulp of this species feeds only on the leaves of aquatic plants, which are found only in their native area. Scientists believe that the interference of human civilization, including agriculture and logging, damaged Goliath Frog is a habitat, which has led to a decline in their number. This species was also strongly hunted for export because they were popular among exotic collectors of animals and zoo.

patternKY for international trade in domestic animals are usually captured from nature. The behavior of these frogs in captivity may be too difficult to be profitable. The species was also traditionally hunted for its meat.
