BBC Story

Well, er, this is certainly... worrisome. Its looks like a case similar to Conjoined twins, but its froggy triplets. If you look at the image, it appears to be about the size of three frogs fused together...
However its a little convienient how is hopped away...

Anyone else seen anything about this or any similar freaky mutations?

Well thats just plain sick. But I do remember there being a Nuclear Power Station that was in danger of becoming another Chernobyl. And was the cause for many birth defects. This frog(if not a hoax) could be the result of the very same thing.

it looks to me like the frog version of siamese twins. Probably cause by enviromental problems like the article said.

I'm unsure if theres any Nuclear Sations nearby the actual location (Weston Super-Mare, IIRC) But i know of a nuclear plant in Somerset that is under the process of being dismantled. A BBC story on that.Perhaps Its a cause?

Toadberus!

It does look fused together, so IMO it wasnt born that way. More information will be known after study of Toadberus. Or did it hop away for good.

Yeah, I barely post.

Fused, huh? I don't think you can take a blowtorch to frog heads and legs and put them on another frog successfully. Unless...

Nope, it don't work that way for me. The frogs just kinda... melted. Eeeww.

Definitely looks like a froggy case of conjoined twins, especially since each of the individual (? can that apply here?) frogs look healthy in their own right.

i figure frogs have crappy screwed-up lives as it is anyway. they just dont have much going for them, and i guess 3 frogs crazy glued together must be the dumps, because i bet all frogs do is complain and misery loves company.

at least theyre never lonely.

I think it is really a female frog who was extremely good looking. Two males were so aroused that they fought desperately to penetrate the beautiful frog. Just then they were struck by lightening.

Much like Mr. Canoe-Head, the frogs naturally became fused together. That's hwo it happened
