BLUE FROG CAUGHT! - Genetic Mutant!

Coyote Peterson recounts his adventures on Middle Bass Island in search of the elusive blue frog. Initially defeated by the frog's agility, he later discovers another blue frog with a color mutation called axanthism. This mutation, due to a lack of yellow pigmentation, makes the frog appear blue. Coyote explains the rarity of such mutations and compares the blue frog to its green counterpart, highlighting the challenges it faces due to its inability to camouflage. The video concludes with an invitation to explore the phenomenon further.

What was the main challenge faced by the narrator in capturing the blue frog during the initial attempts?

• The frog was hiding underwater.

• The frog was camouflaged in the environment.

• The frog was too fast and agile.

• The frog was too small to catch.

What is the genetic mutation responsible for the blue coloration of the frog?

• Leucism

• Melanism

• Albinism

• Axanthism

Why is the blue frog more visible in its environment compared to a green bullfrog?

• It moves more slowly.

• It makes loud noises.

• It lacks the yellow pigmentation for camouflage.

• It is larger in size.
