About the hairy frog

The hairy frog (Trichobatrachus robustus), also known as the horror frog or Wolverine frog, is a Central African species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is typically considered monotypic within the genus Trichobatrachus, but based on its genetics, it should be included in Astylosternus instead. Its common name refers to the somewhat hair-like structures on the body and thighs of the breeding male.
