Mutated Toad.

[notechistiger]

I found this a while ago. I thought it was two cane toads until I shined a light on it. Creepy, no? It's currently residing in my second freezer (the one that's in the garage and stores rats/mice, because Mum couldn't stand them being in the main freezer).

The white thing in the background is my dog. But, he's a jack russell, and therefore couldn't even stand still for a photo.

It's not a good picture, because it was taken with my phone, but you can see enough of it.

Great picture of a mutate toad. My understanding is the mutation is the result of a parasite (Protozoa) that attacks frogs/toads as tadpoles (Part of its indirect life cycle) and makes the toads/frogs easier to catch by birds. (Birds will pass on the eggs vai droppings).

It could also be the result of radiation pollution (As found in toads in Germany).
