You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The Giant Bullfrog was well researched in 2004 for threat. Maybe causing confusion for the species being on the endangered list.

With the IUCN (World Conservation Union) having listed the Giant Bullfrog (Pyxicephalus adspersus) as “Near-Threatened” in southern Africa, there is a need to conduct research on this species (as a first step towards their conservation), which has resulted in the inception of a PhD research project at the University of Pretoria (UP) in January 2003. During the course of 2004 the research project transpired into the official “Giant Bullfrog Project” (GBP) of the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT).

However, it is not on the endangered list. The hunting of this frog in Africa for consumption hasn't effected the population to that degree.

Pyxicephalus adspersus is not listed among the worlds endangered species. Even though many indigenous peoples consider them to be a delicacy, their hunting has not had a significant effect on the size of the population.

"No special legal status has been given to Pyxicephalus species. Switak (1997) notes that advancing civilization has driven it near extinction in certain parts of its range."
One such part is South Africa. It is threatened there and extinct in some areas:
"Giant Bullfrogs originally occurred in great densities across South Africa, but extensive loss of habitat with concomitant decline in their numbers have resulted in their being listed by the World Conservation Union as ‘Near-Threatened’ in southern Africa. It is feared that extinction of the species is eminent in the Free State, and has already occurred in Swaziland."
