Need Goliath frog pics

squib Jan 13, 2004 05:04 PM

I'm looking for a particular picture handed out by a guy named Andy (don't know his last name) who used to capture these frogs in the wild and bring them to the U.S. when it was still legal. He entered one of these in the Calvaras county frog jumping contests in 1990-1991 which brought on opposition from the contest orginizers eventualy they gave in and let him enter it to everyones dismay it didn't win (from what i've read so far is that these frogs walk and don't jump so most likley it was P.R. thing) . The picture i've heard of shows him holding two of the frogs. Any one have any info or pics please post?

I have scoured the net for goliath frog info, but unfortunately there are only a handful of sites and an even smaller amount of pics (I do not recall even seeing a photograph...most are drawings that are somewhat inaccurate). Your best bet would just to be trying to find a connection. If you are just looking for a picture of a goliath frog in general, there is a nice photograph in the reptiles and amphibians of the world book by O' Shea and Tim somebody or other. Good luck...you will probably need it lol. Andy
