    Unless the claws help it cross a busy road and jump on logs & the backs of turtles, it probably won't assist frogs in the long term...

    A frog that dresses in tight black leather and looks like Hugh Jackman? Are you sure you didn't just discover the French stuntman for the next X-Men movie?

    With no adamantium you'd have the craze inducing fragile bone claws. I imagine it would hurt a rather large amount.

    What's more, the researchers believe the frog heals itself after pulling its claws back in.

    If the frog didn't heal after pulling the claws back then the claws wouldn't be piercing its skin
