Provides information on the deformity and decline of amphibians, with reference to environmental changes such as disease, pollution, toxic chemicals, and radiation. Includes news releases, details of scientific research, and educational resources to suit a variety of age groups. General information on amphibians and additional sources are also given.
 
Aims to facilitate the transfer of information on deformed amphibians (mostly frogs) in areas as widespread as Minnesota, California, and Florida. Malformations include extra or missing limbs, missing eyes, and split limbs. It is intended to serve as a central repository for data on the type and relative frequency of such malformations throughout the US.
