Excellent.

I hope you also saw the related story, "Mystery of the Freaky Frogs."

(Science Buzz actually has a lot of content on this subject.)

Stanley Sessions, of Hartwick University, runs a great website about his students' investigations into the cause of the deformed frogs. Maybe it can help you.
