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.
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 only heron with somewhat similarly-colorful plumage characteristics, the widespread purple heron, is much smaller than the Goliath.

Due to their ...

The species is very similar to Littlejohn's tree frog; the main distinguishing characteristic is the breeding call of the males, with Watson's tree frog uttering fewer pulses in each note (with a mean of 22.8 per second as compared to 27.8) for a call length of 3–12 seconds. The call has been described as "wriiik wriiik wriik wriik". [2]
