The Goliath frog is the largest living frog. [3] [4] Specimens can reach up to about 35 centimetres (14 in) in snout–vent length and 3.3 kilograms (7.3 lb) in weight. [5]
Beelzebufo most likely was a predator whose expansive mouth allowed it to eat relatively large prey, perhaps even juvenile dinosaurs. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] Bite force measurements from a growth series of Cranwell's horned frog ( Ceratophrys cranwelli ), suggest that the bite force of a large Beelzebufo —skull width 15.4 cm (6.1 in)—may have been ...

Cuban tree frogs are the largest tree frogs in North America, ranging from 2 to 5.5 inches or (5 to 12.7 cm) in length. [8] Cuban tree frogs are mostly gray, brown, or green, with young frogs having more green coloration than adults. These frogs have rough, warty skin with blotchy or mottled patterning. [9]
The white-lipped tree frog reaches 11–14 cm (4.3–5.5 in) in length. [5] Females are larger than males, and have thicker skin in correlation with the difference in body size. [6] Its dorsal surface is usually bright green, although the colour changes depending on the temperature and background, and can be brown. The ventral surface is off ...
The mountain chicken is one of the largest frogs in the world, the largest in its family Leptodactylidae and the largest frog native to the Caribbean. It can reach 1 kg (2.2 lb) in weight and up to 22 cm (8.7 in) in snout–to–vent length, although a more typical adult size is 17–18 cm (6.7–7.1 in).
Frogs range in size from Paedophryne amauensis of Papua New Guinea that is 7.7 mm (0.30 in) in snout–vent length [48] to the up to about 35 cm (14 in) and 3.3 kg (7.3 lb) goliath frog (Conraua goliath) of central Africa. [49] There are prehistoric, extinct species that reached even larger sizes. [50]
