Talk:African clawed frog

message: If the African clawed frog has "three short claws on its hind feet," why does adolescent one pictured have five? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.219.81.102 (talk • contribs).

Ah, the name is derived from the three claws? How so? Please explain...Captainbeefart (talk) 12:48, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Is the platanna found in Europe or is it only the genus? I believe it is the latter and I am going to change the article on that basis. Please correct if wrong. Captainbeefart 10:54, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Frogs as Pets 

message: Can someone sort out the PET frog stuff from the WILD frog stuff? Wild Xenopus surely aren't eating "minnows and guppies" since neither occur naturally in Africa. Likewise do we really mean to say they're eating "bugs" (i.e., Hemiptera) of which there are admittedly aquatic species, or is this simply a non-scientist meaning "invertebrate" or "insect" or some such? As the thing stands now, the section on ecology practically useless. Thanks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.104.43.215 (talk) 22:24, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm removing "The African Clawed Frog is also the only known species to man that can swallow its own head and skull by curving its lips around its head and sucking." I can't find any support for this claim, so I'm removing it as vandalism. T.carnifex (talk) 15:32, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

message: The part about lacking true ears makes no sense. Go to Google Scholar and you'll see. They have essentially the same kind of ears as us, including a tympanic middle ear, and inner ear including semicircular canals. Also, "true ear" is undefined. Zyxwv99 (talk) 04:54, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

message: I am reading a book called Sixth Extinction and the author made a reference to the female frog being used 
as a pregnancy test in the 1940s. I found a Smithsonian magazine article that backs up the story. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/doctors-used-to-use-live-african-frogs-as-pregnancy-tests-64279275/  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coolcajun (talk • contribs) 06:39, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
