Three Headed Frog?

June 16th, 2007

The BBC is reporting the discovery of a three-headed frog by children at a nursery in Weston-super-Mare. Apparently resident BBC wildlife expert Mike Dilger thinks it could be an early warning of environmental problems. He also says that frogs are “primitive” and so “the occasional extra toe is not that unusual”, and I’m struggling to follow the logic of that. I’m calling hoax on the whole thing as a) the specimen conveniently escaped before it could be examined by anyone of authority, and b) the image looks to me like two males grasping a female - common behaviour during mating in frogs.
