Frogs: Interesting/funny/weird looking frogs =)

Here are some unusual, weird and interesting looking frogs. J

Hairy frog

I must say this frog is pretty ugly.

The hair on this frog isn’t the only unusual thing about it. It also has extendable claws. The frog actively breaks its own bones to produce claws that puncture their way out of its toe pads when it is threatened.

Abah River flying frog

This frog possessing expanded webs of the feet is able to move to fall in a controlled fashion to avoid predation or move about. They can adjust the impact and controll the direction of their fall.

Malayan horned frog

Whats that grumpy look for.

The Malayan horned frog has remarkable camouflage; its colour and form mimicking the leaf litter to be found on the forest floor. Unless the frog moves to snatch some unwary prey, it is unlickely to be seen.

Surinam toad

I know this is a toad, but i thought i would show you it anyway because it is quite interesting

I know! Its so gross.

I bet your wondering what those things are on her back are. Well infact they are eggs. The females create a honey comb chamber that the eggs sit in. They remain on their back until fully metamorphosed (12 to 20 weeks), then push out through the membranes covering the pockets.Watch this to see how it is done.
