I would not want to jump to any conclusions, but this is strange:

Interesting and I wouldn't mind seeing a few shots of that. I hope they find a reason for it. Strange huh :D

Wow that is strange, but also very interesting Wil. The world of nature is amazing sometimes. Lets hope it stops to a certain degree.

Thanks for the links, very interesting to tread.

This case may be a little too weird, but amphibians are notoriously sensitive to their environment. If you Google "amphibian extinction" or something like that, you'll get all kinds of articles on the subject. The gist of the articles is that fully 1/3 of all amphibians will probably go extinct by the end of this century. (And not all of them will turn into Princes.)
