Goliath frog, (Conraua goliath), West African frog inhabiting dense lowland rainforests and a few fast-moving rivers and waterfalls in Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon. Classified in the family Conrauidae, it is best known as the world’s largest frog species. Males and females grow as long as 32 cm (12.6 inches), and the largest adults (which are often females) weigh 3 kg (6.6 pounds) or more. The goliath frog is an endangered species whose population has declined because of hunting and capture as well as its specific habitat and food requirements and narrow tolerance limits, which make it vulnerable to habitat loss and degradation.
The goliath frog’s geographic range extends from southwestern Cameroon south across the northern half of Río Muni (Continental Equatorial Guinea). It inhabits clear, warm rivers whose temperature hovers near 19.4 °C (67 °F) and nearby riverbanks and humid, undisturbed old-growth or secondary-growth forests (see also secondary succession). The species prefers waters that are highly oxygenated but slightly acidic.

The species prefers waters that are highly oxygenated but slightly acidic.
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 species’ 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.

Lakhi leaves behind broken hearts around the world. Asha refused to eat the entire day, refused to budge from the spot on which she last lay. She’s been listless and mournful, albeit quiet – running her trunk through the mud and letting out the most heartbreaking guttural rumbling sounds every few minutes. Ever so often, Coco or Peanut or Suzy will respond. Once in a while another elephant will rumble back. Her keeper stands beside her, talking to her and trying in his own way to comfort her. He hand fed her a bucket of greens last night which she ate slowly and sadly. He talks to her awhile about Lakhi, how beautiful and calm she was, about how incredible their friendship was and how much he misses her too. He tried calling her into the shade, but she remained rooted to spot her friend had passed.
Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) have a robust build and broad face, distinguishing them from their Sumatran and Tapanuli counterparts. These adaptations emerged to help them avoid predators and survive on different food sources. Bornean orangutans spend more time on the ground and have heavier bodies than other species.
