Four baby Solomon Island leaf frogs born at the National Zoo Nov. 20 skipped the tabpole phase and emerged from their eggs as fully-formed "froglets."

Wait how? is that normal or some sort of evolution/mutation?

Be careful where you step.

it looks more like evolution than mutation. Perhaps, frogs will no longer born in fish-form in another 100 years.

Do they eat itsy bitsy spiders?

xD

@iclim4: Evolution is just mutation with the most benefit in the current environment, so it's at least mutation if not evolution.

That's cool. Evolution is when mutation becomes an advantage to the creatures environment and habbits. If this mutation can guarantee more chances of survival it will most likely become a next step in evolution instead of an anomaly.

But I don't think these small frogs will survive in the wild though. Atleast in the tabhole stage they have the advantage of being superfast swimmers. This mutation = phail.
