The Frog That Grows Claws Through Its Skin
The hairy frog (yes, that’s real) breaks its own toe bones to form claws that pierce through its skin. These retractable bone-claws are used to defend against predators or in fights with other males. It’s a bit like Wolverine—if Wolverine also had a fur coat made of mucus-covered filaments.
The claws don’t stay out permanently and likely retract once the threat passes. It’s not just weird—it’s brutal biology that pushes survival anatomy to the limit. Even without metal, these frogs weaponize their bones in the most primal way imaginable.
