Name: Xenopus laevis

Scientific name: African claw frog

Distribution: Southeast Africa.

Appearance characteristics: body length 6 ~ 13 cm, flat and streamlined. Eyes are small and upward, which helps to detect natural enemies. Body color is golden yellow. There is a white stripe on each side of the body, which belongs to the sensory system and can help them detect the situation in the water in order to find food or avoid natural enemies.

Ecological habits: aquatic, inhabiting lakes and ponds. Use the rainy season to lay eggs in the waters. The hind feet are strong and muscular, and the toes are full. They are good at swimming. The forelimbs are very small, so I put food into my mouth with the toes of three claws. I am very greedy. Common frogs in aquariums can be fed with feed.
