    1. Thanks Ferdy. I was happy that this one let me approach quite closely. Most of the ones I saw leapt away at a much greater distance. Posted 8 years ago

The giant river frog is a species of frog in the Dicroglossidae family. It is endemic to Borneo, and found in Brunei, Kalimantan , and Sabah and Sarawak.

Giant river frogs inhabit the banks of small to large, rocky streams in hilly lowland rainforests.
The tadpoles develop in quiet side pools of streams. It is locally affected by deforestation and over-exploitation, but it is not considered threatened by the IUCN.
