Giant Slippery Frog
The giant slippery frog (or Conraua goliath), sometimes called the goliath frog, is an extremely large species of frog that lives in the African rainforests of Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea, specifically in the fast-flowing rivers and streams.
It can be green to dark brown in colour, with a paler underbelly, large yellow eyes, and may also have small, ridged bumps on its skin.
Males are larger than females, weighing between 0.6kg and 3kg and measuring between 17cm and 30cm long.
