Several factors are being explored to explain the high incidence of frog deformities, including environmental pollutants such as pesticides and heavy metals, which can disrupt endocrine functions. Habitat destruction and climate change also play significant roles by altering ecosystems and exposing frogs to pathogens. Additionally, parasitic infections, particularly from flatworms, have been identified as a potential cause of physical deformities. Finally, genetic factors and developmental anomalies during critical growth periods may contribute to the observed deformities in frog populations.
