1- Deformed frogs have been found in 54 counties in Minnesota.
2- The EPA conference was held in Duluth.
3- Yes this is an environmental problem. however, since scientists don't know what to name it, they say that what affects frogs might affect humans as well since humans and frogs are both vertebrates.
4- No deformed frogs are not able to feed themselves or escape from predators because they have compromised limbs.
5- Frogs with missing legs, frogs with extra legs, frogs with misshapen legs, frogs with paralyzed legs sucked out of their body in odd places, frogs with legs webbed together with extra skin, frogs with legs fused to their body, & frogs with legs split in two haves way down.
6- The most memorable specimen David Hoppe and his team found was that the mink frogs, the species wit the most deformations, spend more time in the water than any other frog species.
7- Hoppe's most important find was in Crow Wing County.
8- Hoppe found five species of abnormalities in frogs.
9- The species with the highest incidence of deformity is Mink Frogs at 50% of the total frogs with deformities.
10- The two theories are:
- The frogs become infested with naturally occur in parasites
- Chemical Pollution.
