The Hairy frog, also known as the horror frog or Wolverine frog, is a Central African species of frog in the Arthroleptidae family. It is monotypic within the genus Trichobatrachus. Its common name refers to the somewhat hair-like structures on the body and thighs of the breeding male. The hairy frog is also notable in possessing retractable "claws", which it may project through the skin, apparently by intentionally breaking the bones of the toe. This type of weaponry appears to be unique in the animal kingdom. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests so the Hairy frog should be kept in a warm and humid habitat.
