What is a "hairy frog"?
A hairy frog, also known as the horror frog or wolverine frog, is a unique species found in Central Africa. What sets it apart is its unusual defense mechanism - when threatened, it can break its own bones and push them through its skin to form sharp claws, resembling hair. This remarkable adaptation allows it to effectively ward off predators and defend itself in its habitat.
