The world's largest frog is the goliath frog and it can be found in two African countries, Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea.
Goliath frog, which is 32 centimetres in length, can live up to 15 years in the wild. It can live up to 21 years in captivity, Legit.ng has learnt.
According to NewScientist, goliath frogs build their nests in streams, which seems to entail shifting rocks that weigh up to two kilograms.
Shifting of rocks may explain why goliath frogs have evolved such large bodies.
The goliath frogs are threatened by hunters who hunt them for food. They are also preyed upon by snakes, Nile crocodiles, Nile monitors, among other predators.
