The African albino clawed frog is also known as the African albino clawed frog or the African albino clawed frog. These frogs are found in most of Africa, and in isolated populations, are introduced in North America, South America and Europe. They are purely aquatic creatures, abundantly inhabiting the rivers, lakes, streams, and ponds within their range.

Normally, these frogs are greenish-gray but Albino’s are a solid creamy white. The albino varieties are considered a color mutant developed in captivity. These clawed frogs are the only amphibians with real claws. They have flattened heads and bodies, but no tongues or ears. Although they have no real ears, they have lateral lines that run the length of their body and underside, which is how they can sense movements and vibrations in the water. Usually, these frogs reach about 5 inches in length. They are famous for their strong legs, which benefit them when swimming and chasing their prey.

The African albino clawed frog uses its clawed hands to push food in its mouth and down its throat. Their claws are also beneficial for tearing large pieces of food. Another feeding method these frogs have is by sucking or sucking their prey into their mouths in a motion that resembles a “smash”. These creatures hunt for food using their sensitive fingers, sense of smell, and lateral tract system to find food. They will also forage and will eat almost anything alive, dead or dead, and any type of organic waste. They even eat their own skin, which they shed each year.
