Description
Unfortunately my palette of human figures and clothing is pretty limited since I primarily do "nature" (non-human) imagery... but this render will at least give you an idea how large the biggest frog in the world is. Yup,... it's pretty large.
The Goliath Bullfrog is the largest frog in the world. The male measures (Snout to Vent): 6-14 inches (170-350 mm). Females are smaller.
It is endemic to Guinea and Cameroon. It has been located in Sanaga Basin (mainly appearing near the Nachtigal cascades and in the Sakbayeme rapids), Kienke Basin, Ntem Basin (mainly being located near the rapids of the Mensolo and Nsana), and Mbía Basin (where it was found to be very abundant in the rapids and cascades).
Due to its large size, this bullfrog has an extremely selective distribution. It is primarily located in a dense equatorial forest fringe which is somewhat parallel to the coast and surrounded by rivers. It prefers areas with waterfalls.
The Goliath Bullfrog is endangered. Its numbers are dwindling due to habitat destruction, collection for food, and the pet trade. The primary threat to the Goliath frog is hunting, as it is considered a food source in its native range. Due to their classification as an endangered species, the Equatorial Guinean government has declared that no more than 300 Goliath frogs may be exported per year for the pet trade. This law appears to be working because few now seem to be exported from this country.
