Big frogs with newborn babies face extinction

The giant Goliath frog, about the size of an infant, is in danger of extinction due to hunting and fungal infections.

According to The Sun, the Goliath frog (Conraua goliath) is endemic to Cameroon and the Guine Equator Republic, the world's largest frog.They can be up to 32cm long, weighs 3.25kg, equal to a newborn baby.This giant frog is in danger of extinction due to hunting and infection with a dangerous fungus.

Frog Goliath tadpoles are equivalent to a copper frog.

In late June, French photographer Cyril Ruoso, 46, took a picture of this giant frog in the Nkongsamba area of ​​western Cameroon to reflect the danger of frogs and help people receive it. How to protect them.

Goliath frogs are found only in fast flowing rivers or streams in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea forests.

People often hunt them at night to make food, sell them to pet collectors and sell them to pet markets.

Another cause for this species to reach the end of extinction is that they are infected with chytrid - a fungus that kills organisms when "absorbed" through the skin.

Biologist Claude Miaud and Ruoso are studying how this fungus spreads to overcome it.
