Quote Quote That's exactly what you'd expect if God was trying to test our faith. No, no, no, no. This is meant to support the faith.

The reason it is in the news now is because of the super whiz bang technology that allowed them to get 3D images of the second leg (which had been hidden).

The enigmatic amphibian, dubbed Barbourula kalimantanensis, apparently gets all the oxygen it needs through its skin. Scientists first saw one of these frogs 30 years ago, but due to their rarity, just one other specimen had been collected since then and neither had been dissected. “No one thought to open them up — there was no real reason to believe that they could be lungless,” said researcher David Bickford, an evolutionary biologist at the National University of Singapore. http://www.neatorama.com/ -------------- 360  miracles and more at: http://www.hereoisreal.com/....eal.com Great news.

Interesting to ponder why it wasn't the other way around. I wondered about that but oddly this is happening in a genus of skink found in Australia. Check out Lerista. Apparently some species showing a reduction in digits or limbs, others lack front legs and two species having no legs at all. The front limbs seem to go first? They're being studied as a model to try and understand snake evolution. Very cool skinks.
