Ethan Kocak @ethankocak.com · 09/12/2023Aquarists out there might be more familiar with their African cousins the African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis which has been a staple for decades. Also commonly used in laboratories and introduced as an invasive in many places unfortunately 1110
Ethan Kocak @ethankocak.com · 09/12/2023But Xenopus is an invasive because it’s very hardy and reproduces more or less like most anurans (frogs and toads ) 2110
