The African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) typically carries her eggs for about 24 to 48 hours before they are laid. After fertilization, the eggs are laid in water, where they develop into embryos. The time from egg to tadpole can take about 3-7 days, depending on environmental conditions.
African clawed frog was created in 1802.
An African clawed frog is a species of frog, Latin name Xenopus laevis, with interesting genetic properties.
The African clawed from female can lay hundreds of eggs at a time. There are times when she will lay them unfertilized and a male may fertilize them later.
people sometimes eat African clawed frogs
I don't think they are because I had one African clawed frog and bought two jelly beans.One of the jelly beans grew to be as big as my African clawed and the other grew very little.
An African clawed frog would probably eat the minnows.
Well, ours turned into tadpoles after about 3 days. Hope this helps.

there are 20 spp. of Xenopus (african clawed frogs). Xenopus laevis (Common Clawed frog)is the most common and usually what is refereed to as the African clawed frog even though its only 1 spp. of clawed frog. This spp has been widely used as a research model as well as pet trade. Although most African Clawed frogs in the wild can be seen as at risk of endangerment, due to the fact that they are very region specific and limited to a small range, I believe only X.gilli (Cape Clawed frog) is officially endangered.
They will turn brown if dead.
