Mawa Clawed Frog
''Xenopus boumbaensis'', the Mawa clawed frog, is a species of frog in the family Pipidae. It is known from a few localities in central and south-eastern Cameroon, and from north-western Republic of Congo and extreme south-western Central African Republic; it probably occurs more widely in the central African forest belt, but identification is difficult: it is one of the cryptic species that resemble '' Xenopus fraseri'', from which it can be distinguished by chromosome number ( 2n=72) and a male advertisement call of a single note. Etymology The specific name ''boumbaensis'' refers to the type locality (Mawa) that is within the Boumba River drainage. Description Adult males can grow to and females to in snout–vent length. All ''Xenopus'' are characterized by a streamlined and flattened body, a vocal organ specialized for underwater sound production, lateral-line organs, claws on the innermost three toes, and fully webbed toes.

Orang Mawas
In Malaysian folklore, the Orang Mawas or Mawas (also known as the Orang Dalam) is an entity reported to inhabit the jungle of Johor in Malaysia. It is described as being about 10 ft (2.4–3 m) tall, bipedal and covered in black fur, and has been reported feeding on fish and raiding orchards. There have been many sightings of the creature, which the local Orang Asli people call ''hantu jarang gigi'', which translates as 'Snaggle-toothed Ghost'. Recorded claims of Mawas sightings date back to 1871. Some speculate the creature may be a surviving ''Gigantopithecus'' (or at least a folk memory of the animal), while the scientific community tends to dismiss the sightings as misidentified sun bears. Similar creatures are reported in other countries in southeast Asia, such as the Muwa in the Philippines or the Butnak ( th, บุดนาก) in southern Thailand. In Sumatra, mawas (sometimes maias) is common name for the orangutan. See also * Bukit Timah Monkey Man * Orang Pe ...
