Mari Reeves has several deformed frogs living on her dining room table in Anchorage, Alaska. One of them, named Skinny by her literally minded six-year-old son, has a leg that bends back on itself, making it hard for him to compete for food. Another, Skillson, is a skilled jumper, but one of his limbs appears slightly shrunken. The appearance of a third frog, Limpy, isn't as dramatic: he just has a leg that doesn't look quite the way it should.
