:thumbs:

I was about to say nope as that is not the answer given...

Thank goodness for :mrg: ...

I did a search on the answer I have (and was going to use this as a clue editing out the answer given):

The common Platanna - Xenopus laevis: In the nineteenth century European scientists discovered an unusual amphibian in the Cape Colony (South Africa). The animal was already well known by native peoples throughout sub-Saharan Africa as a source of protein and an aphrodisiac or fertility medicine (Kobel et al., 1996). Ease of maintenance and breeding with injected hormone, has made X. laevis the standard laboratory amphibian since the 1940's (Gurdon, 1996). Being aquatic throughout their life Xenopus are easy to keep and are resistant against disease and infection. Although crude, the use of X. laevis as an assay for luteinising hormone, and thus pregnancy testing, led to mass movement of the humble Platanna to laboratories pan-globally. Subsequent use of X. laevis as the laboratory amphibian in schools, universities, pregnancy clinics, medical research establishments, and as pets, has meant that this animal is familiar to biologists the world over.The platanna is a common and well known species, with a wide distribution range. They are totally aquatic and will only leave the water during wet conditions to move to another water body. These frogs are well suited for aquatic life, able to swim in all directions, including backwards, with ease. Air-breathing, they depend on well developed lungs. The body is streamlined and slippery and they have powerful hind legs and fully webbed toes. Lateral sense organs are well developed which enable them to detect vibrations in the water. They are not only voracious predators, but will also scavenge. In the absence of a vocal cord the call of the male is produced by the movement of modified laryngeal cartilages against one another. Platannas are found throughout South Africa except for the extreme Northern areas.

Quite a surprising result considering what I searched for :haha:

What does the Zulu word "Laduma" mean?
