The largest living frog on earth is The Goliath Frog, and it’s in danger of becoming extinct after its population size plummeted 50% over the last three generations. The main reason for this is human-induced activity.
The Goliath Frog, with its impressive size of up to 13 centimeters and weight of 7.2 lb, or 3.25 kg, is a true giant. However, its habitat is anything but. This magnificent creature is confined to a small range in Africa’s Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea, making it particularly susceptible to the destructive actions of humans.
This colossal frog is rather skittish, and although it attempts to avoid humans as much as possible, highly advanced traps and habitat destruction have caused the number of Goliath frogs to decrease greatly in recent years. According to experts, if things don’t change, this spectacular frog species will soon become extinct.
