Abstract

Reports of limb malformations in amphibians have increased in the last 20 y. In California, this includes anuran species in the families Hylidae and Ranidae. While working with Foothill Yellow-legged Frogs in Sonoma County, we observed a malformation of a hind limb in 1 individual, the source of which was undetermined. We believe this to be only the second such report of a malformation in this declining species.
