    My young African Clawed Frogs (wild type), Dwarf Frogs and a pair of Tropical Clawed Frogs
    I like your photos of Silurana tropicalis I would say it is one of my favorite African species. According to many researchers, this species is replacing X. leavis as a model lab organism. The reason is that S. tropicalis matures twice as fast as X. laevis and is less genetically complicated. By the way, frogs in the genus Silurana are more closely related to Pipa (Surinam toads) and Hymenochirus (dwarf clawed frogs) than to Xenopus.

    Their behavior is quite different from the clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis). Most of the time they spend motionless at the water surface, between the plants. They are not good swimmers, in contrast to the clawed frogs. Often bury themselves in the substrate. Their favorite food are insects, like crickets, flies, moths.
