Chura-kucha

**Vyura-kucha** ni aina za vyura ambao wanaishi majini maisha yao yote. Miguu yao ya nyuma ina ngozi katikati ya vidole lakini miguu ya mbele hainayo, isipokuwa vyura-kucha wadogo ambao wana ngozi katikati ya vidole vya miguu yote. Kuna vidole vitano kwa miguu ya nyuma lakini vidole vinne kwa miguu ya mbele. Vidole vitatu vya miguu ya nyuma vina ukucha mweusi. Mwili wao ni mpanapana na ngozi ni ya kuteleza kwa sababu ya ute mwingi. Vyura hawa hawana ulimi. Hufanya sauti kama mialiko kwa mfupa wa hayoidi (hyoid bone).
