The Giant Fiji ground frog (Platymantis megabotoniviti) is a frog. This frog is not alive now. It lived long ago. Scientists found its bones in Fiji, in caves in Viti Levu.^[1]^[2]

This frog was larger than other frogs in Platymantis. Scientists say they all died after humans came to Fiji. The humans brought rodents with them.^[2]
