𝑭𝒓𝒐𝒈 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒂𝒚! 🐸 African Clawed Frogs!

African Clawed Frogs, like all their family, are toothless, tongueless, and totally aquatic! Using their sense of smell and touch, they swim and lunge after food - which, as scavengers, can be almost anything living, dying, dead, or decaying.

They are originally from ponds and rivers in Sub-Saharan Africa, but they can be quite invasive in other regions due to their adaptability. These frogs will lay their eggs whenever and wherever the conditions allow them to, traveling to other sources of water during damp conditions and borrowing into the mud during dry patches.

They are known to survive for 15 years in the wild and upwards of 25-30 in captivity, shedding their own skin and eating it every season. Females are much larger and rounder than the males, and both communicate in trills during the mating season. Both possess large claws on their back feet, giving them their descriptive name.

Clawed Frogs are notably more cannabilistic than many other species. The tadpoles are filter feeders who consume plankton, and adult frogs do not shy away from eating these tadpoles. This system helps Clawed Frogs to survive in places where there are very little food sources.
