Does anyone know of any facilities or zoos that have these animals on display? I've alweays wanted to see one. Any information would be much appreciated

Don't think there are any. These frogs are notoriously (and reputedly as no one can really get their hands on them) hard to keep, and seemingly impossible to breed. Searches turn up nothing on the subject usually, or at least for the past few years they havn't. All I can say is good luck.

Hello,

I've recently found a few pics (if you're interested) @ http://talkto.thefrog.org/

I have also heard that Goliath frogs are nearly impossible to keep outside their natural habitat, which is in Central South America. Their origin is located high up in the mountains, so if they're removed from the high air pressure, they'll most likely die. Maybe this is why there's not much info on the internet?

Thanks so much for the link. They really are amazing animals. I've always wanted to see one up close but I've never had the luck. Apparently there were two zoos in the United States That had them in the 90's but I don't know of any that still do. Just FYI the goliath frog is found only in a few swift-moving rivers that wind through a fringe of dense rain forest in coastal sections of Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea in western Africa.

This site has some great pics and info on Goliath frogs the most info I have found on them so far. http://www.arkive.org/species/speciesOverview.do?id=5149

Great website. Thanks so much for pointing it out to me.
