Wolverine Frog



The similarities to Wolverine are quite frightening not only does the Cameroon frog posses a super power that allows it to actively break its own bones to produce claws that puncture their way out of the frogs toe pads - it also has the matching side burns.



This feature found on the Trichobatrachus robustus, is also found in nine of the 11 frogs belonging to the Astylosternus genus, most of which live in Cameroon.



The end result looks like a cat's claw, but the breaking and cutting mechanism is very different and unique among vertebrates. Also unique is the fact that the claw is just bone and does not have an outer coating of keratin like other claws do.
