It is endemic to the Huayllamarca River at an altitude of about {{convert|4000|m|ft}} in the Carangas Province in Bolivia.[1] Its tiny range makes it highly vulnerable to pollution, and it may also be threatened by over-harvesting for medicinal use and the disease chytridiomycosis.[1] As suggested by its scientific name, this is a very large species of frog with a snout-vent length of up to {{convert|10.9|cm|in}} in females (males are smaller).[2] In the genus Telmatobius, only two other threatened species, the Titicaca water frog (T. culeus) and Lake Junin frog (T. macrostomus), are larger.[2][3] T. gigas is very closely related to the smaller and more widespread T. marmoratus, and they might be conspecific.[4] References1. ^1 2 Cortez, C., Reichle, S., De la Riva, I. & Köhler, J. 2004.
