The Goliath frog, however, was mainly infected by Nematodes (90.5%) which is a specific type of roundworm. The helminth species discovered within the Goliath frog was extremely similar to those discovered in amphibian hosts in other African countries emphasizing that its location/habitat is the main cause of the prevalence of this predator.
This very large toad typically weighs up to 0.5–1 kg (1.1–2.2 lb), but sometimes considerably more. It is the world's second largest frog after the goliath frog. [5] It is threatened by capture for human consumption, habitat loss, pollution, introduced species and the disease chytridiomycosis.
Conraua derooi are large frogs (though much smaller than their relative, the goliath frog Conraua goliath), with males measuring 76–84 mm (3.0–3.3 in) and females about 74–82 mm (2.9–3.2 in) in snout–vent length. The head is relatively large with prominent eyes and a fairly small snout.
The largest frog is the African Goliath frog (Conraua goliath), which can reach 32 cm (13 in) and weigh 3 kg (6.6 lb). [41] Amphibians are ectothermic (cold-blooded) vertebrates that do not maintain their body temperature through internal physiological processes.
The Calyptocephalellidae are a family of toads (although not true members of the Bufonidae) found in Chile containing two living genera, Calyptocephalella and Telmatobufo.. The genus Calyptocephalella contains one living species, the helmeted water toad (C. gayi), which is very large and mostly aquatic.

Giant frog may refer to: Blyth's river frog (Limnonectes blythii), a frog in the family Dicroglossidae found from Myanmar through western Thailand and the Malay Peninsula (Malaysia, Singapore) to Sumatra and Borneo (Indonesia) Cyclorana australis, also known as the northern snapping frog, a burrowing frog in the family Hylidae native to Australia
Common name Abo slippery frog has been coined for it. [1] [2] Conraua crassipes is a common species living in or near fast-flowing, clear-water rivers and streams in low altitude rainforest, possibly to elevations up to about 1,000 m (3,300 ft) above sea level. It tolerates some habitat degradation, provided that trees remain and the habitat ...
