Frog with nine legs causes concerns

If you are a parent, then you know kids will sometimes bring home a new pet. But when a little boy brought a 9-legged frog home to Kansas, some adults got worried.

Looking from above, the frog may seem normal. But with a closer look, it's clear there is a problem.

The kids have named him "Leggy". Little Trevan found the frog in the pool in his back yard Monday afternoon. But that's not where Trevan's parents and their neighbours think it came from.



They think it may have come from a nearby pond and drainage ditch. Neighbours say they've heard the area used to be a landfill, which is why the frog is causing some concern.

"Somebody needs to look into it, if it is not safe for kids," said neighbuor Cassy Kellogg.

"Kids go back in this area all the time because there is a pond back there and if they are playing in it, what's going to happen to them?"
