Puzzle over Three Headed Frog!

Children at a nursery were shocked at play-time when they discovered a three headed frog hopping around at playtime in their nursery garden, the creature not only had three heads but also had six legs and has stunned wildlife experts who believe the creature could be an early sign of environmental problems. At a first glance the creature just looked like three frogs huddled together says Laura Pepper from the Green Umbrella Nursery in Weston-Super-Mare, the children couldn’t believe it and were very shocked!

“I have never seen anything like this - frog’s are primitive animals so if they have an occasional extra toe it is not unusual but this is very strange and has never been seen before” says Mike Dilger, from the BBC Natural History Unit.

All the creature’s eyes and legs appear to function normally, but it is not known whether it eats using all three of its mouths.

The amphibian was kept in a container for several hours but hopped away later while nursery staff were showing it to curious parents.
