The Clark Fish Market in Des Moines received 24 live frogs from Honma Louisiana and released them into a newer pond near the city. The frogs are much larger than native stock and may not acclimate in this far north climate. Naturalists estimate a female frog can lay 2000 eggs two or three times a season. If unchecked frog propagation could overrun the earth in a few years.
