Limnonectes is a genus of fork-tongued frogs of 91 known species, but new ones are still being described occasionally. [1] [2] They are collectively known as fanged frogs because they tend to have unusually large teeth, which are small or absent in other frogs.
Limnonectes megastomias is a robust, very large-headed fanged frog. Adult males range from 40 to 123.7 mm SVL and the females measure 53.5 – 86.3 mm SVL. The head is somewhat longer than wide, and males have larger heads (41-56% of SVL) than females (39-45% of SVL). Males also have thick, elongated odontoid processes, which act as “fangs.”
Limnonectes larvaepartus is a species of fanged frog in the family Dicroglossidae endemic to northern and western Sulawesi, Indonesia. [2] It is unique in that it has internal fertilization and gives live birth to tadpoles. [1] Other frog species that have live birth produce froglets.
Frog calls sound similar to boatswain whistle and tricorder from Star Trek series, researchers say
Online newspaper Haaretz quoted one of the researchers behind the fanged frog finding, Jim McGuire. He also made the frog-human comparison, albeit he was as dramatic as we were:
Within historic times, pronghorn, gray wolf, red wolf, and brown bear were all found in Missouri, but have since been extirpated. American bison and elk were formerly common, but are currently confined to private farms and parks. Elk can be found in a small restoration zone in three counties in the southeast Ozarks.
Limnonectes beloncioi is a common species in riparian habitats and in the vicinity of moving water in gallery forests. It has been found from coastal lowland habitats just above sea level to low and mid-elevation forests in the interior of Mindoro, up to at least 830 m (2,720 ft) above sea level.
Another study, published in 2019, found that spider venom could be used as a potential cancer combatant since some of the venom components have been demonstrated to “produce lethal effects on ...
