Animal : Frog

1. The goliath frog (Conraua goliath)is the largest extant anuran on Earth.[1]
The largest known specimens can grow up to 32 cm (12.6 in) in length from
snout to vent, and weighs up to 3.25 kg (7.17 lb). This animal has a
relatively small habitat range, mainly in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea.
Its numbers are dwindlingdue to habitat destruction and its collection for
consumption and the pet trade
Description: In a sample of 15 individuals,[2]
weights ranged between
600 and 3,250 g (1.32 and 7.17 lb), and snout-vent lengths were between
17 and 32 cm (6.7 and 12.6 in). Their eyes can be nearly 2.5 cm (0.98 in)
in diameter. The conspicuous tympanum has a diameter of about 0.5 cm
(0.20 in) and is separated from the eye by about 5 cm (2.0 in) in adults.
The next largest extant anurans are the Cane toad, about a third smaller
than the Goliath in the largest specimens, and the African bullfrog,
which is just over half the size of the Goliath. Goliath frog eggs and
tadpoles are about the same size as other frogs despite its very large
adult form.A lateral fold extends from the eye to the posterior portion of
the tympanum. Toes are fully webbed, with large interdigital membranes
extending down to the toe tips. The second toe is the longest. The skin on
the dorsum and on top of the limbs is granular. Dorsal coloration is
green sienna, while the abdomen and ventral part of the limbs are
yellow/orange. They have acute hearing but no vocal sac, and also lack
nuptial pads
