<p> </p><font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 9px;">quote:</font>More than 1,000 toads have puffed up and exploded in a Hamburg pond in
recent weeks, and scientists still have no explanation for what's
causing the combustion, an official said Wednesday.<p> </p>

toads have been tested, but scientists have been unable to find a
bacteria or virus that would cause the toads to swell up and pop, said
Janne Kloepper, of the Hamburg-based Institute for Hygiene and the
Environment.</p>

said. "We have a really unique story here in Hamburg. This phenomenon
really doesn't seem to have appeared anywhere before."</p><p> </p>
