List of biggest amphibians

[Joe1507]

I was thinking of the list of biggest amphibians, This was put together by me so tell me if im right.
first being biggest, last being smallest of the biggest if that makes sense XD

1) Giant salamander - Andrias davidianus
2) Goliath frog - Conraua goliath
3) Cane toad - bufo marinus
4) African giant bullfrog - Pyxicephalus adspersa
5) American bullfrog?

i believe the 1st 2 are right

At a guess I'd say 3 and 4 should be swapped round?

actually number number 2 should be andrias japonicus the japanese giant salamander. andrias davidianus is the chinese giant salamander

if were going on largest specimin (stv lenght) ever found your right world largest cane toad came in at just over 8 inches where the largest african bullfrog was about 9 inches big

Including legs stretched out? I think that cane toads have longer legs then bullfrogs I could be wrong, and if i was going by weight i think afrivcan bullfrog would be second or third.

i thought that horned frogs got slightly bigger than american bllfrogs not sure but i think the biggest orned frog was bigger than the biggest american bullfrog

[Joe1507]

I doubt it, ive seen pics of some pretty huge american bullfrogs
