African Frog Remove Claw When Get Danger

Dozens of species of African Frog seem to have the best weapon was hidden behind the skin. The frogs are issued as a kind of danger claws like a cat or a wolf. This is a special attraction for a recommendation wildlife animal africa tour.

David C. Blackburn aware of it while doing fieldwork in Cameroon. When biologist at Harvard University, caught the hind legs of African Frog issued by the sharp claws of the skin. Is not very surprising! anything you can see when traveling to African countries. Because the African fauna is very diverse and extensive tourism, making the African countries as a favorite tourist destination in the world.

“I was very surprised to see a sapo that can cause severe lacerations to find,” said Blackburn, who reported his findings in the journal Biology Letters. It ensures that, after further examination of the unique anatomical structure of the African Frog.

The results of observations of 63 African Frog species found that 11 of them have such capabilities. All species of the genus and Astylosternus Scotobleps Trichobatracus perform these defense mechanisms, among other species and Perreti Astylosternus Trichobatracus robustus.

The secret is in the bone base of the toes is a lump. Bone is connected to the bones of small but sharp and can move freely. This bone is connected to the structure of the foot with a collagen-rich wrapper. However, unlike cats claw, the bone in the hands of African Frog uncoated protein keratin, rather than a special structure in his foot.

When muscles tense certain African Frog legs, the bones of the nodule on the skin that resemble claws deliver. This is only done when the sapo, resulting in danger because his legs torn skins.
