African Frogs Can Morph Toes Into Claws.

This is really amazing in my opinion therefore I post it here, a frog that has really a "secret hidden" weapon in the form of claws.[small ones of course]
So don’t tease these frogs.

Biologists at Harvard University have determined that some African frogs carry concealed weapons: When threatened, these species puncture their own skin with sharp bones in their toes, using the bones as claws capable of wounding predators.
