The goliath frog or giant slippery frog (Conraua goliath) is the largest living frog on Earth. Specimens can grow up to 32 cm in length from snout to vent, and weigh up to 3.25 kg. This species has a relatively small habitat range in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. Its numbers are dwindling due to habitat destruction and its collection for food and the pet trade. The goliath frog is normally found in and near fast-flowing rivers with sandy bottoms in the Middle African countries of Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. Order: Anura, Family: Conrauidae, Genus: Conraua, Species: Conraua goliath (Boulenger, 1906).
