A unique habitat
Adult goliath frogs spend most of their time in the river to avoid daytime heat with only part of their heads above water. At night, they venture onto riverbanks to search for food. Larger adults sometimes bask in the sun on rocks, with occasional dips in the water to stay moist. Adult and juvenile frogs are carnivorous and feed on a variety of prey, including insects, worms, spiders, scorpions, fish, and even other frogs and small mammals. In captivity, they have been known to eat adult white mice. The tadpoles are herbivorous, however, and feed exclusively on Dicraeia warmingii, an aquatic plant found on rocks in rapids and near waterfalls. Having such an exclusive diet at this critical life stage may partially explain the speciesβ narrow habitat range. Despite their bulk, adult goliath frogs can jump up to 3 meters (10 feet) to escape predators, which include lizards, snakes, crocodiles, and human beings. Goliath frog eggs are sometimes consumed by shrimp. |
