My friend found an unusual frog
A blue Northern Green Frog (Rana clamitans melanota) on my friend's FB.
Apparently it's a rare genetic mutation. I've only seen one once - when I was a kid - except the one I saw was only half blue.

Re: My friend found an unusual frog

Re: My friend found an unusual frog
awsome color! There is one similar in London Zoo, although it has more black in the pattern, has large black circles with blue centres and blue outlines, looks quite spectacular, i might have a photo somewhere, wil see if i can dig it out when I'm on my PC

Re: My friend found an unusual frog
Interesting looking. Kind of looks like a Poison Dart Frog.

Re: My friend found an unusual frog
Just noticed it was a friend if yours that took the pic! Sorry it was late. I'm guessing you trust him enough not to have doctored the photo. In that case WOW I'm amazed.

Re: My friend found an unusual frog
Maybe if he'd stuck his hand in the pic for comparison . . . seriously, if that pic hasn't been photoshopped, the frog is beautiful. I'm not going to get into any argument about whether the pic has or hasn't been photoshopped, though. It could easily be real, just looking at the substrate, but what do I know?

Re: My friend found an unusual frog
He said this is the second one he's seen while working at the golf course.
As I said I have seen one when I was a young teen, and the blue half of it was that shade of blue. I don't believe he photoshopped it.

Re: My friend found an unusual frog
It does look a bit like a dark frog...Either way it's blue, and any animal that is blue is always appealing. This is a cool find!

Re: My friend found an unusual frog
Tell him to catch the next one he finds. If hes near you, you'll be able to go and get a good look at it and tell us. I can't even find a google picture to match that lol
