#wolverine frog

this is my petition to get the hairy frog (also known as the wolverine frog) to be the next tumblr sexyman

isn’t it beautiful?

Hairy frogs live in a couple countries in Africa, and in Cameroon are sometimes hunted and eaten.

They’re pretty normal, except they grow long hair along their backs, and in their feet they have bones that they can break and shove through their skin like wolverines’s claws. The skin can also regenerate super fast. It’s uncertain what their claws are used for, but it’s likely for defense and to grip surfaces better.

Also the tadpoles are super beefy and carnivorous, and have several rows of teeth.

So maybe not that normal, but nevertheless pretty awesome.

I've been busy as all get out recently, but I'm happy to present Pilowog and Croakshanks.

"Pilowog use their thick insulating hairs to protect themselves against fluctuating temperatures. They also hide as rocks to avoid predators." Pilowog is based on the hairy frog, but without the abilities that gave them their Wolverine moniker. The red fingertips were kept as if to imply bones pressed against the skin, ready to escape. This sprite uses parts from Growlithe and Eevee, but the colors come from Pansage and Fearow.

"Croakshanks have large retractable claws they use for hunting, foraging, carving, and warding off predators and competitors. No two Croakshanks have been seen cohabitating." Croakshanks is based on the Wolverine frog, leaning into that aspect and shying away from the hair aspect. This sprite uses parts from Herdier, Kadabra, and Piloswine. Colors come from the same source.

The Hairy Frog

A.K.A. The horror frog or wolverine frog

They will literally break their finger bones and push them through the skin to use as claws

[thefrogghost]

Frog Fact: the Hairy Frog is also known as the Horror Frog or Wolverine Frog due to the fact that it has retractable claws formed by intentionally breaking the bones of the toe and forcing them through the skin

Okay so Tsu can "do anything a frog can do" right? So does that mean she can grow bone claws threw her skin like the Wolverine frog?
