Scientists were extremely shocked and surprised to discover that this species of toad is not at the beginning of this peculiarity.

Scientists are recently extremely stunned to discover a special toad individual in the forest in the state of Connecticut, USA. It is worth mentioning that this kidnapper, though well-proportioned, is still running normally but . lost his head.

Accordingly, this toad lacks parts such as eyes, nose, tongue . and only a small hole in the place where the mouth should be.

Jill Fleming, a biologist at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, USA and his colleagues, explored and explained the anomaly in this toad.

This toad is not completely lost, but may be due to genetic variation.

Some assumptions were made that they had lost their heads because of parasites eaten by parasites or because their rats had eaten their heads. However, this hypothesis is not really convincing.

Fleming answered in Live Science that the toad was not completely lost, possibly due to genetic variation.

Jill Fleming shared: "The reason behind this toad losing head is still a big mystery. First I thought it was hurt by the natural predator, but this toad still works normally. They are indeed a species of amphibians possessing a reliable recovery ability ".

Remember, the species can "petrify" for nearly 7 months at an average temperature of minus 14 degrees Celsius, and then when winter passes, spring comes - these frogs resurrect as if nothing has happened. .

According to experts, amphibians such as toads, frogs are cold-blooded animals and they need to hibernate to survive the icy season. Their bodies produce ice crystals that slow the heart rate and stop breathing until the temperature rises above freezing.

Jill Fleming said that it is not uncommon for this toad to live well when wounded like that, because she has caught the end of the hibernation with a foot wound. It is the hard shell that protects their internal organs, helping them to survive.
