Goliath Frog (Conraua goliath)

[Frogly]

I don't know any cites that contain info on this frog. I do know that it is the worlds largest frog measures at largest seen at over 12 inches snl and eeigh 7 pounds. You might try Googleing the common name with its scientific name to gather more info.

CITES...The international treaty to protect threatened species. Thanks for your info.

I do believe these are a CITES 2 animal ...

Gotcha. There for a minute I was confused. It didn't connect when I read"CITES". Most of the time people don't use the actual term they just say protected and where the animal is on that graph.

Thanks Grif and everyone else for the help. I have this thing for massive and giant animals, especially those that are in the human conscious of only attaining a particular size when in nature there are certain species that reach enormous proportions.

I have spent years looking at those web pictures of African villagers holding up that massive 2-foot long bullfrog. Just go to google and hit the "image" tab and type in "African bullfrog" and you'll see the pictures. Aahhh...wishful thinking.

No problem, just trying to help how I can. Its an awesome looking species. Like the Giant Salamnders they look very Prehistoric. Especially since they don't call or make any sounds. May be one of the oldest species of frog. It is very disappointing that not more is known about them, they are apparently difficult to catch off guard so I don't believe anyone gets close enough to snatch it before it takes a massive leap.

Correction...Type in Goliath frog!

Frogly , I totally understand your fascination and love for the HUGE amphibians , they are just simply.. pure awesome ! I fix my fascination of huge amphibians by volunteering at the university and zoos , San Anotonio zoo has Japanese Giant Salamanders , can't get much bigger than those ! LOL ... I do keep the largest Bufo species , guttattus , marinus , paracnemis, and Pipa pipa . Years ago I had an eight year old 11 inch African Bullfrog that was a joy to have.
