Clash Deemed Bad Omen In Malaysia Frog Battle
In Malaysia a large frog clash Sunday left 30 dead and many wounded after a two month truce failed. The battle occurred along a highway about 130 miles north of Kuala Lumpur near a historic field where previous frog deaths were reported in November. Two species were involved and witnesses described camps forming and dispersing as the fighting peaked. Local scientists note such amphibian wars arise when swamp levels drop and breeding sites shrink, linking the event to broader social unrest in the region.
