What to remember
In Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea lives the goliath frog (Conraua goliath). It holds the record for the heaviest amphibian with a maximum mass of 3.3 kg (7.3 lb) and a snout-vent length of 35 cm.
The largest living frog, it belongs to the family Conrauidae. Its range is strikingly small: it lives only in a limited area of Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. It is also known as the giant slippery frog or the goliath bullfrog.
It should not be confused with another so-called giant frog, Litoria infrafrenata.
