Where do goliath frogs live?

The goliath frog (Conraua goliath) is found in a restricted geographic range spanning southwestern Cameroon and the northern half of Río Muni in Equatorial Guinea.1

These amphibians inhabit dense lowland rainforests, specifically favoring clear, warm, and highly oxygenated rivers with temperatures near 19.4 °C (67 °F). They are typically found along riverbanks and within humid, undisturbed old-growth or secondary-growth forests. Because the species has very specific habitat requirements—including a reliance on particular aquatic plants for their tadpoles—they are highly vulnerable to environmental degradation and habitat loss.12
