Yeah, whoever called it the wolverine frog did an excellent job
I’m pretty sure its the other way around: this frog would have been the inspiration for the character.
animals often are. especially unusual ones.
Maybe the other animal named just wolverine was the inspiration too…
a combo. Pretty sure wolverines don’t break their own bones to grow knuckles
Well the comic character also doesn’t do that, so that kinda is my point actually. Maybe we can compromise on Wolverfrog.
…i can see someone didnt even bother to look at the diagrams or read any deeper about this frog
frog has been around well before the character
I can see someone entirely missed the point of the exchange, but still possesses the irrational need to appear correct in insubstantial discussion. What else are you noticing?
i dont believe in your fantasy that wolverine invented the claw coming out of the knuckles and some random frog just watched marvel and thought woopie ill try that.
the intellect in these forums is dismal.
I’ve never been more complimented by a downvote by a group of trolling idiots. certainly makes it easier which bad actors to block.
Actually, the name wolverine frog is a direct reference to the comic book character.
frog has been around well before the comic book character.
the character trait idea could have come from the frog. authors do this all the time
Do you think it’s been called “wolverine frog” since the moment it existed?
i think youre replying to the wrong post. as this is exactly what im trying to dispell.
So you’re trying to say that the frog may have been named after the comic book character then?
I’m saying you smell bad.
Well yeah, the frog has been around. The name Wolverine frog is more recent than that though. More frequently it’s called a hairy frog.
correct. its features of the knuckles were taken for the character. there seems to be some confusion for people to understand a character is newer than the frog and the wolverine name is newer
not sure what it is you’re disagreeing with here.
Every frog has its thorn
It is Wednesday, my dudes.
AAAAHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhh!
It’s not the only animal like this! The Iberian Ribbed Newt (Pleurodeles waltl) will push its own ribcage out of its chest (turning them into spikes) and secretes toxic venom through those bones…
P. waltl is a model organism for the study of adult regeneration. Similar to other salamanders, P. waltl can regenerate lost limbs, injured heart tissue, and lesioned brain cells, in addition to other body parts such as the eye lens and the spinal cord. The 20 Gb genome of P. waltl has been sequenced to facilitate research into the genetic basis of this regenerative ability.[20] Regeneration is able to occur due to the newt’s specialized progenitor cells and the transduction of their somatic cells, which act like stem cells.[21] Stem cells repair damaged tissue and contribute to regeneration effects. In most organisms, the efficiency of the function of these stem cells decrease, but in some organisms like P. waltl, this degeneration does not occur.
This thing is genuinely Wolverine in terms of healing superpowers.
Wolverfrog vs Newtpool
Amphibians are crazy, dude! 😄
Uh huh, yeah, I recognize some of these words
That’s nice, dear.
My favorite part is that it grew out it’s mutton chops for the sake of committing to the cosplay
Spiders, centipedes and snakes, now fucking frogs gotta be nightmare fuel? Get me off this planet, please.
It’s okay, he’s only here to tell us what day of the week it is
Wow it really does look like Wolverine, that’s fucking awesome
Yeah, that’s “Wolverine frog” as in The Wolverine, Logan, not the animal he was named after. Because those bone blades are kinda like his (except they come out of the finger tips like that other version of him that he fought in X2).
badgers beyond my comprehension
What. The. Fuck. Holy shit.
Ya but it’s like 1 pound.
Nuclear radiation was discovered in 1895. That frog was discovered around 1900… Coincidence?
