    Although these frogs can swallow animals almost half their size, they sometimes attempt to eat things larger than they are. Their teeth, as well as bony projections in the front of the jaw, can make it difficult for them to release prey after taking it in their mouth, in some cases leading to death by choking.

    Crepuscular, a classification of animals that are active primarily during twilight, making them similar to nocturnal animals. Diurnality, plant or animal behavior characterized by activity during the day and sleeping at night. Cathemeral, a classification of organisms with sporadic and random intervals of activity during the day or night.

    They then lunge and swallow the prey whole. [8] They feed on other frogs, insects, and snails. [9] Both adults and tadpoles of the species are known to be occasional cannibals. [8] [10] [11] The tadpoles of this species are obligate carnivores that swallow their prey whole. [10]

    All nest types can be used several times, and can consist of three distinct cohorts of tadpoles. [16] The construction of these nests can also explain how the goliath frog became the largest frog. Digging out these nests which exceed 1 m in diameter is an extremely arduous task. Other species which perform this task are also quite large in size.

  9. Flying and gliding animals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_and_gliding_animals

    Because the animal is in motion, there is some airflow relative to its body which, combined with the velocity of its wings, generates a faster airflow moving over the wing. This will generate lift force vector pointing forwards and upwards, and a drag force vector pointing rearwards and upwards.
