Xenopus laevis is a rather inactive creature. It is incredibly hardy and can live up to 15 years. At times the ponds that Xenopus laevis is found in dry up, compelling it, in the dry season, to burrow into the mud, leaving a tunnel for air.
The African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis), also known as simply xenopus, African clawed toad, African claw-toed frog or the platanna) is a species of African aquatic frog of the family Pipidae. Its name is derived from the short black claws on its feet. The word Xenopus means 'strange foot' and laevis means 'smooth'.
It is the only species in the genus Xenopus to have a diploid genome. [3] [4] Its genome has been sequenced, [5] [6] making it a significant model organism for genetics that complements the related species Xenopus laevis (the African clawed frog), [7] a widely used vertebrate model for developmental biology.

Gene nomenclature guidelines - Xenbase is the official body responsible for Xenopus gene naming; Literature search: Textpresso- Uses an algorithm to match your search to specific criteria or section of a paper. For example, you could identify papers describing HOX genes and limit your results to only papers which used morpholinos.
Morphological data suggest that Xenopus is the sister-group of all other pipids, [3] [4] whereas molecular data consistently suggest that Pipa is the sister-group of other pipids.

The Marsabit clawed frog (Xenopus borealis) is a species of frog in the family Pipidae found in Kenya, Tanzania, and possibly Uganda. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, rivers, freshwater lakes, intermittent freshwater lakes, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, pastureland, and ponds.
Largen's clawed frog or the Sidamo clawed frog (Xenopus largeni) is a species of frogs in the family Pipidae. Endemic to Ethiopia its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, rivers, freshwater marshes, arable land, and rural gardens. It is classed as endangered due to the decline of its habitat in the Ethiopian ...
Xenopus allofraseri, the false Fraser's frog, is a species of frog native to Central and Western Africa. [2] It inhabits wetlands and forests in countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea and Angola. It occurs in elevations from 30 to 1,218 m (98 to 3,996 ft).
