ever had four left feet?

Frog leg chefs have spared an eight legged frog (... 8... ocho... yah) in China. This disturbing discovery is actually not all that uncommon...

Previously, a seven-legged bullfrog was found in a pond near Atkinson, New Hampshire, and it's come to light that investigating authorities in at least 42 states have discovered amphibians with too many limbs, too few, missing organs (like eyes... how creepy is THAT?) or other unnamed deformities (per: SeaCoast online). Of the New Hampshire Hoppy's sample group of 70 frogs, 16% had some form of malformations and conditions (like the 'swelling condition' also haunting this lop-sided-hopper).

Greg Hellyer is an environmental scientist with the US Environmental Protection Agency and has been quoted as saying "It's telling us something. we don't know what — but it's troubling," and this troubled feeling has spawned the formation of NARCAM - the North American Reporting Centre for Amphibian Malformations.

The Chinese restaurant owners in Fujian province who have found the most recent Chrysalid have spared the octo-phib, but there's no word on his current state, as deformed frogs don't usually live as long as their quadraped relatives.
