Episode 335: The Giant Goliath Frog

Episode 335: The Giant Goliath Frog

We are continuing on with another GIANT species, the Goliath Frog. This endangered amphibian lives in a tiny corner of Africa between the countries of Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. Often prized for their meat, and with pressure from deforestation of the area, it is driving this, the world's largest frog, to extinction. Amphibians are so critical to our ecosystems and we need to focus more on them and their plight. This was a real treat learning and chatting about such an incredible animal and how conservationists are fighting to save them. Thanks HelloFresh!
