Don't think that all frogs are small. In prehistoric times, there were devil frogs with a body length of 1 m. Now the largest frog is the giant frog of Cameroon. Although it is not that big, it can be more than 30 cm long, and it can reach 1 m if the leg length is counted. Unfortunately, this giant frog is an endangered species, and it will be extinct if it is not protected.

Giant frog in Cameroon: the largest frog in the world

Cameroonian giant frog, also known as African giant frog, is the largest species of all frogs at present. Their weight can reach 6 kg, and their body length can reach 33 cm from the tip of the nose to the anus of the giant frog. If their hind legs are stretched, they can even reach 1 meter, which is comparable to their ancestor, the devil frog.

This giant frog can devour almost any creature similar in size to it, and all kinds of insects, scorpions and even other small frogs may become its belly, even some small snakes are no exception. Although snakes usually eat frogs, for Cameroonian giant frogs, those small snakes can also become its food.

Cameroon giant frog can jump 5 meters.

The jumping ability of Cameroon giant frog is extremely strong, and it can jump more than 5 meters, thanks to their strong hind leg muscles. They will be stimulated by movement, pounce on almost any moving object within the jumping range, and then swallow the whole prey, and the prey will suffocate or go into shock before being digested.

Cameroonian giant frog is one of the few frogs with favorable teeth in their mouths, with a tooth-like structure like a protrusion. It is said that when these giant frogs close their mouths, their teeth feel like broken glass. It is no wonder that such a slippery snake can also be swallowed by the giant frog in Cameroon.
