Weight of African Clawed Frog

Invasive species present a growing threat to ecosystems worldwide, and the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) is no exception. First detected in the U.S. in 1964, African clawed frogs have now made their way to Washington State where they pose a growing threat to local ecosystems. Known for their voracious appetite and remarkable adaptability, these frogs are proving to be formidable invaders. With ongoing research and collaboration among various agencies and organizations, there is hope for developing strategies that can manage their spread.
