Xenopus toad or clawed toad (Xenopus laevis)

========================================
I think the Xenopus toad is the best-known example of an animal beginning with X The toad has claws on its front and hind toes. The hind toes have webbing that helps with swimming. They are adapted to life in muddy waters and live in central and southern Africa. They eat smaller amphibians, fishes, arthropods and even carrion. They are a browny-green colour mottled with black on top and underneath are rather pale to almost white.
