    Describe the general external anatomy of the frog. The body of a frog can be divided into a head, which extends posteriorly to the shoulder region, and a trunk. Notice that a distinct neck is absent. This is a retention of a characteristic of fishes, for which an independent motion of the head and trunk would be disadvantageous during swimming. The appendages, forearms and hind legs, allow the frog to move about on land. The large webbed hind feet aid in swimming.…

    Horned Toad

    The common name “Horned Toad” for Texas Horned Lizards comes from two of its most prominent physical characteristics. Phrynosoma cornutum has two large horns on the center of its head accompanied by lots of smaller horns around it (Bockstanz 2016). It is commonly called a “toad” due to its short flattened body and short legs (Seymour 2016). Spines are found all over the body of the Texas Horned lizard and down its tail (Seymour 2016). Sexual dimorphism between males and females can be seen in two ways, body size with females being larger and the presence of femoral pores on males (Figure2). It has been shown that southern populations of P. cornutum are on average larger that northern populations (Henke & Montemayor 1997). In southern populations…

    In the past few years, citizens of Minnesota have discovered deformed frogs scattered throughout the state. There are many speculations as to how the frogs got such deformities. Some scientists believe that its something in the waters of the Minnesota wetlands, other factors could be parasites or ultraviolet radiation. Minnesota is not the only location in the world that has reported deformed animal sightings, but almost three-quarters of the deformed frogs were reported in Minnesota. This is not necessarily because Minnesota contains the most deformed frogs, because scientists are unsure if that is true. Residents of Minnesota are most aware to the problem, so they are basically looking out for the frogs. Deformed frogs are most commonly missing limbs, have extra limbs, or have some bent limbs. Also, there are internal deformities that one would not be able to tell just from looking at the frog. These include digestive and urinary problems, and a slow ability to eat, avoid predators, and move. Because of this most frogs do not survive the winter, and if they do, deformed frogs do not advance on to a second year of living. Deformities do not occur in all frogs, the most common frogs with these malfunctions include the wood frog, American toad, and the northern leopard frog. Since deformed frogs have been found in ponds and both the urban and rural parts of Minnesota, scientists have concluded that well water can produce such malfunctions. Several tests have been preformed on the water that Minnesota residents are drinking and nothing has been found. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences have been performing tests to help solve the problem of deformed frogs in Minnesota.…
