The hairy frog (Trichobatrachus robustus) also known as the horror frog or Wolverine frog, is a Central African species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is typically considered monotypic within the genus Trichobatrachus,[2] but based on its genetics, it should be included in Astylosternus instead.[3] Its common name refers to the somewhat hair-like structures on the body and thighs of the breeding male.
