Zaire Dwarf Clawed Frog
Hymenochirus boettgeri
This small, fully aquatic frog inhabits warm, slow waters in the Congo Basin, often sheltering among vegetation and debris. It hunts insect larvae, worms, small crustaceans, and other tiny aquatic prey by lunging or drawing food into its mouth. It has no tongue, using its front feet to help guide captured food into its mouth.
