29 Sea Creatures with Superpower-Like Abilities
African Hairy Frogs Have Claws Made Of Bones
This amphibious creature lives most of its life on land but returns to the water to lay eggs. When hatched, the tadpoles begin their aquatic lives with an astounding ferocity: they have horned teeth – several rows of teeth, in fact – and are surprisingly muscular.
The adults not only have hair on their bodies but also have hooks. Unlike authentic claws, they are not made of keratin (the stuff your fingernails are made of) but bone. These frogs break the bones of their toes and then push them out through their skin. Unsurprisingly, African hairy frogs are also known as Wolverine frogs, after the character in X-Men.
