Adult and juvenile goliath frogs are carnivorous, eating insects, worms, spiders, scorpions, fish, other frogs, and small mammals. Tadpoles feed exclusively on the aquatic plant Dicraeia warmingii, which is found on rocks in rapids and near waterfalls. Their dependence on this plant at such a critical life stage likely accounts for the frog’s narrow distribution.
