African Clawed Frog (Xenopus laevis) (2864603798)
Description:
Description: These bizarre frogs look like they have been flattened in a traffic accident. They stand upright underwater with forearms outstretched and wait for food. When a fish swims near the frog, it opens its mouth, causing an inrush of water. It uses its front legs to stuff the prey down its throat. Date: 22 March 2008, 08:01.
