What does everyone think to this?

Im convinced its just 2 males fighting over a female.

Apparantly it escaped before an expert got to see it!

I cant believe this made national news

Looked like that to me when I saw it on the T.V news, and that was after I saw the picture on the BBC web site. The frogs are different colours which would not happen if they were all the same animal, can't imagine an animal with such a deformity becoming adult. Just goes to show how gullible reporters are and what happens when important news is thin on the ground.

They all look different ages too, my April fools prank for RAUK might as well be abandoned now
