The ‘Horror Frog’

This little guy is dubbed the ‘horror frog’ because of its ability to break down its own bones to produce claws. Sounds crazy enough? This amphibian actually breaks down its bones in order to puncture its toe pads, producing extendable claws on demand when threatened.

The hairy ‘horror frog’ was discovered in Cameroon in 2008, but its no foreigner to the people of its land since it is often roasted and eaten.
