The world's largest species of frog is the Goliath frog (Conraua goliath), which is also known as the Giant Slippery Frog or the Goliath Bullfrog. The Goliath frog is found in the rainforests of Central and West Africa and can weigh over 7 pounds (3.2 kilograms) and grow up to 1 foot (0.3 meters) in length. Its body is covered in slimy skin that is a mottled greenish-brown color and it has a wide, flat head with large, round eyes.

The Goliath frog is a powerful jumper and is capable of leaping up to 10 feet (3 meters) in a single bound. It is also an important food source for local communities, although over-harvesting and habitat loss have led to declining populations in some areas.
