Walt,
I do not know what your frog is but I wonder if mutation could be in 
the picture.  We have a large chemical plant close to my home and 
the property would be in the flood plain of the Mississippi River if 
it were not for the levy system.  A marsh is present around the 
plant depending on water levels.  During high water in the river the 
seep water will cause flooding through the marsh and folks down 
stream have found many mutated creatures.  Mostly the frogs suffer 
from extra legs.  Could your frog be a case of mutation resulting 
from contact with pollution?
