Quasipaa spinosa is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is known under many common names, including Chinese spiny frog, giant spiny frog, Chinese edible frog, and spiny paa frog.[2] Its names refer to the distinctive characteristics of the species, relatively large size and the spiny chest of male frogs.[3][4] Giant in frog terms only, it can nevertheless grow to lengths above 10 cm (4 in); this makes it the largest frog in Hong Kong.[3][5]
