Actual science again yanks the football away from the environuts

Legless frogs mystery solved

Around the world, frogs are found with missing or misshaped limbs, a striking deformity that many researchers believe is caused by chemical pollution.

However, tests on frogs and toads have revealed a more natural, benign cause.

The deformed frogs are actually victims of the predatory habits of dragonfly nymphs, which eat the legs of tadpoles.

As with the thoroughly disproven premise of "Silent Spring," don't expect this news to make the environmentalists change their tune any time soon.
