For anyone who actually cares, Wolverine the comic book character was first written in 1974. This frog was first discovered in the early 1900s, but it’s skin-piecing bone claw mechanism wasn’t discovered until 2008. It’s nickname of “wolverine frog” is 100%, definitively, objectively, named after the comic book character, and not the other way around.
Actually, the name wolverine frog is a direct reference to the comic book character.
frog has been around well before the comic book character.
the character trait idea could have come from the frog. authors do this all the time
Well yeah, the frog has been around. The name Wolverine frog is more recent than that though. More frequently it’s called a hairy frog.
Do you think it’s been called “wolverine frog” since the moment it existed?
i think youre replying to the wrong post. as this is exactly what im trying to dispell.
So you’re trying to say that the frog may have been named after the comic book character then?
I’m saying you smell bad.
Lmao.
