Discover the terrifying defense mechanism of the hairy frog, also known as the 'Wolverine frog' or 'horror frog'. When threatened, this amphibian deliberately breaks its own toe bones to form sharp, claw-like structures that pierce through its skin—just like Wolverine from X-Men. Learn how this rare adaptation works, why it's unique among amphibians, and how it compares to other extreme animal defenses like the Spanish ribbed newt. We explore the biology behind this bone-breaking survival tactic, the role of regeneration in amphibians, and why hunters in Cameroon avoid handling these frogs barehanded. Packed with fascinating facts about Trichobatrachus robustus, mating season 'hairs', and natural defenses in the animal kingdom.
