Presentation transcript:

Exploding Toad Mystery Almost one thousand toads have suddenly died in a mystery at a pond in the German city of Hamburg. The toads are ballooning to three times their normal sizes and then bursting. Local animal welfare workers are shocked at what is happening. They have no explanations why the toads are exploding. Experts from a local zoo arrived at the pond to investigate the strange deaths. They could not believe their eyes when they saw the hundreds of dead toads. Olga Henke, an authority on German toads was completely baffled by this phenomenon. She said: “I thought I knew everything there was to know about toads. We have to find answers quickly before the toad population disappears.” There are a few theories about why the toads might be dying in such a violent manner. Some people say a mystery virus has suddenly infected the pond, while others think that toxic waste has poisoned the pond. A local vet believes a fungus the toads are eating is producing too much gas inside their stomachs: “The toads cannot release this gas by breaking wind, so they get bigger and bigger and eventually burst like a balloon.”

Exploding Toad Mystery Brainstorm! Think of as many reasons as you can why toads might blow up like a balloon and then explode. Agree on the reason you think is most likely.
