Object description

Stjärtlösa groddjur (Anura) är en ordning av groddjur som omfattar drygt 5000 arter uppdelade i ett 50-tal familjer.

Som namnet antyder saknar de stjärtlösa groddjuren stjärt. De har kort kropp och obetydligt avsatt huvud, som är platt och brett och har stor mun. Vidare är bakbenen i regel kraftigare än frambenen. De karaktäriseras också av simhud mellan tårna och utstående ögon. De minsta arterna blir bara någon centimeter långa, medan goliatgrodan kan bli upp till 40 centimeter lång.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
