Frog that is almost too goofy looking to be real- the common platanna, also known as the African clawed frog. This one was found in South Africa

African Clawed Frog (Xenopus Laevis)
Honestly I could've written pages about these guys, there's so many cool facts about them. Very clumsy on land, and so these lads tend to stick to water or - if dried up - can bury themselves in the mud for up to a year! Their skin produces a type of antibiotic that heals their wounds rapidly. They lack tongues, and so have to push food into their mouths with their tiny unwebbed hands. The males also lack vocal cords, and so have to click to attract females - they rarely respond, but their rejection is a slow ticking sound...which seems more like a warning imo. These guys are an invasive species in many habitats, but endemic along the African Rift Valley south of the Sahara Desert, as well as South Africa, Namibia, and Angola. They're also a species of least concern!

Every time I got downstairs, the frogs instantly pile up and stare at me with A) heart eyes B) interrogation C) malevolent intent. I still can't tell which is which.
