These frogs got their name because the startling blue coloration of the legs and body of many of the races of this species resemble artificial dyes in their intensity. No cruelty here, just Mother Nature.

There have been cases of artificially dyed African Clawed Frogs - I think someone talked about that elsewhere on the forum.
awesome .. that's really interesting. although, it would be cruel. thanks!
