Today I Learned …

So … we talk about someone “Hulking out”, but there’s actually a frog that does a pretty good Wolverine impression. The hairy frog, a species found in central Africa, has a bad-ass defense mechanism — when it’s attacked, it breaks its own toe bones and pushes them out through its skin to form sharp claws. Researchers aren’t completely sure, but they think that the bones slide back under the skin when the threat passes and the frog’s muscles relax. (Researchers DO agree that this frog is one of the coolest EVER.)
