The Hairy Frog, also known as the “Horror frog,” has one of the most bizarre defense mechanisms in the animal kingdom. When threatened, it breaks its own toe bones, forcing them through its skin to create sharp claws for fighting off predators. These temporary weapons are made of bone, not keratin like most claws. Once the danger has passed, the bones retract, and the skin eventually heals over time. It’s a painful but effective survival strategy — nature’s brutal reminder that self-preservation can come at a cost.
