Villagers in the Solomon Islands were left stunned after coming across a giant frog, described as being as big as a human baby. A photo taken by Honiara resident Jimmy Hugo shows a young boy holding the frog up for the camera - and it has created a huge buzz on social media, sparking new interest in a species that is facing a decline in population.
Mr Hugo, the owner of a timber milling operation, said that mill workers came across the frog while hunting for wild pig in April. He then shared a photo of the giant frog - a Cornufer guppyi - on Facebook.

"Where I come from, it's called bush chicken," Mr Hugo wrote while sharing the pic. The pic has gone viral on Facebook, collecting over 800 'shares' and thousands of reactions. "Amazing," wrote one Facebook user. "That's the largest water frog in Solomon Islands and probably in Melanesia," another remarked.

At first, I thought only a few people would see it and then suddenly I saw lots and lots of people commenting," Mr Hugo told ABC News. "I was very surprised to see how people reacted to the picture."
