subheadings for Parasites and Diseases. I also retitled the Nesting behavior section to read Parental Care, and created a subheading for Nesting behavior. Otherwise, I felt this article was well written. I think the author should consider including a better picture of the frog in the article, as the one in the taxonomy box is just a model.

make a long whistling noise. Goliath frogs do not have vocal sacs. Females then follow this noise to the male.

also captured with nets during the day while they are resting on the rocks. However, this method of capture is not very effective for they are able to escape quite well due to their ability to jump 1.2 to 3m high. Humans are the main predators for this species and are the main cause of their endangerment. Thanks!

to articles rather than being correctly formatted with all relevant information, so I reformatted them. I also had to remove this section because it was not cited and I could not find a citation for it. If anyone can find the citation, feel free to add it back and add a citation at the end. Here is the paragraph:

While effects of climate change, agriculture, and deforestation greatly affect this species to the extent of making them endangered, they are also mainly captured by the locals who use lanterns to get their attention and then shortly after, they immobilize them using meshed nets. In Nkombia, they are

I removed unnecessary linking in the article, such as for the words commonly, species, frog, family, etc. Citations for this wiki article were not great, only existing at the bottom of huge paragraphs of information. I went through and cited much more thoroughly. Moreover, citations were only links

Little is known about goliath frog mating systems. The little research that has been done suggests that male goliath frogs perform the calling ritual differently from most other frogs. Instead of sucking in air into vocal sacs and blowing it out to make calls, goliath frogs hold the mouth open to

Made a Knowledge account specifically to make a bunch of edits to the flow and readability of this page, lol. A lot of the necessary information about this species is here, but I feel that some of it is unnecessary or is not presented in a way that makes logical sense. Additionally, the citation

The main changes I made were the order of sections. I moved Physiology to be later in the article, Conservation to be earlier in the article, and created separate sections for Reproduction and Diet which were previously combined. I also changed the Predation section to read Enemies, and made

etiquette is somewhat lacking—a few instances of saying "In a study" and then not citing or stating which study. I may go through and work on the citations when I have time to actually read through the papers and match claims to sources, but until then, I've left those sections alone.

Not experienced wikiperson - so I don't know if this is the right place to say this - but there is a disagreement in the entry about the maximum weight of the frog. The first sentence says 7lbs, the trivia section says 15lbs. 18:54, 30 March 2007 (UTC)craig ferguson

Still some work to be done for readability, but I hope this is better. Thanks to everyone who did the work to put all this content in the page in the first place—editing existing content is much easier than digging up sources to produce it!

Yes, some live pics, not bloated bottled specimens. Someone must have taken pics of spawn and tadpoles. And what is their defence mechanism from predators? And what do they eat themselves? What do the taste like? Plenty more to know!

The call of the goliath frog, however, shows an unexpectedly high frequency of 4.14 kHz, and the frog calls with its mouth open.
