| | Common Name: | toad with parasitic leg | | Scientific Name: | Bufo pentaped |
Details: Parasitic worms have been linked to severe deformities in toads, frogs, and salamanders. These worms attach themselves to the egg, and typically result in deformities to the rear limbs, either causing the formation of extra limbs, stunted limbs, or limbs without adequate muscle tissue.
This specimen is a gaff. Using modern taxidermy techniques he has been made to appear as if he has an extra leg. Varations on this theme are available to order. Prices start at the listed price below.
