goliath frog

Japanese: goliath frog(英語表記)goliathfrog
goliath frog

...Generally, there are no suckers on the fingers, and even if they do, they do not develop. Most species are under 10 cm long, but the largest frog in the world, the African Goliath Frog ( Conraua goliath ) (illustration), can reach a body length of 30 to 40 cm (the Guinness World Record, 1997 edition, shows that an individual caught in the Sanaga River in Cameroon in 1989 was 36.83 cm long). The next largest, the African bullfrog (Pyxicephalus adspersus ) (illustration), lives underground, and during the spawning season, males protect their eggs and larvae in the swamps, and are said to pounce on any enemy that approaches, even if it is an elephant.

Goliath frog is a creature that lives in the forest.
