15 Species That Rarely Get Cancer—and What That Means for Humans

14. African Clawed Frogs

African clawed frogs are notable for their rare incidence of tumors, a trait linked to their remarkable regenerative powers and a strong immune system. These attributes make them valuable models in biomedical research. Scientists are investigating how these frogs’ natural defenses protect them from cancer and whether similar mechanisms could be harnessed for human therapies. Explore their biology for more details.
