FROG
More Rare than
Quintuplets
NEW
YORK
4-2-1935 - a close-up of the newest wonder of The
American Museum of Natural History, an Albino Pond Frog, with
pink eyes, so rare, say scientists, it is more unusual than the
famous
Quintuplets of Canada.
Dr. G. Kingsley Noble, curator at the
museum, said that the frog which "as brought to New York by two
visitors to St. Lawrence County, Rana Clamitans he had ever seen
ever seen. He also said it was his belief that the almost
- white frog is looked upon, scientifically, as a conspicuous
mutation representing an almost diagrammatic step in the
mechanism of evolution.
the frog is being
given the best of care and food, living in a special glass
container set in cool flowing water, and being fed on the larvae
of special species of moth.
