Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

This is just something floating around in my head... and I may be WAY off here, but I'm too lazy to verify it at the moment...
I thought the "biggest frog" was a situation similar to "biggest snake" where length is held by one species, weight by another.
And I had thought... THOUGHT... or at least my brain, which is often mistaken is telling me... that the weight category was held by Pixies...

by the way, stretched out, they get over 3 ft., and are considered the single hardest frog to catch by hand

I agree with you. In spite of the fact that it's enormous, it is very nice

I got some stamps from the post office the other day and the common motif was the largest.. in the world, It had flowers and other animals and stuff. Of course I got the one with the largest frog in the world. It had the African Bullfrog on it and it kind of made me angry. Being a frog lover I know the largest frog is the Goliath and it just seemed ridicilous that the US post office is too stoopid (LOL) to have correct facts on their stamps. There is a killer video on U Tube (Is that what it's called?) Search google goliath frog video it's really cool!!
