Usually, we would think of frogs as being quite small ( especially baby frogs!) — we certainly wouldn’t expect there to be a frog that is bigger than a pet cat or one with a mouth so wide it can swallow other frogs whole. In fact, there are a lot of giants in the frog world, with one species that can weigh more than 7 pounds! Here are the largest frogs in the world ranked by their length. #10 Giant River Frog Arthroleptella villiersi Hewitt, 1935 De Villiers’ Moss Frog, De Villiers’ Chirping Frog, De Villiers se Mospaddatjie(A)

About the Fitztitute

These frogs release a milky toxic substance through their skin. This substance is toxic both to other frog species and humans. [2] [3] Photo of a Red Branded Rubber Frog Captivity [ edit ] Heleophryne rosei Hewitt, 1925 Table Mountain Ghost Frog, Rose’s Ghost Frog, Thumbed Ghost Frog, Tafelbergse Spookpadda(A) The International Union for Conservation of Nature listed the species as Least Concern. It has no threats apart from predation as of now. To test the frog’s defense, a team of scientists in Berlin took a more ethical approach by using termites ( Macrothermes bellicosus) and mealworms ( Tenebrio molitor), and exposing them to stink ants. Certain termites and mealworms were covered in water, while the rubber frog skin secretion was applied to others. The scientists found that those with the skin secretion were able to avoid ant aggression for much longer than the termites and mealworms without it.
