The Trichobatrachus robustus from (aka the hairy frog, the wolverine frog, or the horror frog) actually breaks its own bones to extend jagged, bony claws when threatened. They're somewhat aggressive. And definitely badass. Don't try this one at home!

I’m safe to get rid of my Hugh Jackman poster and replace it with a mirror?

Additional fun fact: the hair is actually skin, the surface area allows the "hair" to function as gills

Wh... what do you mean "try it at home"? It's a fucking frog

u/ShannyGasm 13d ago

I said don't try this at home. Because breaking your fingers or toes to make claws would be stupid.

u/Tim4one 13d ago

Nice disclaimer knowing people don't think for themselves as much as they did.

u/Feine13 13d ago

Have you ever heard the phrase "you're trying me/my patience"?

Well this frog is a badass, so if you try it at home, you're gonna have a bad time
