Someone poured obama-koolaid into the lake and they all forgot how to take care of themselves and how to reproduce.

Wildlife officials in Peru are investigating the mass death of thousands of rare frogs near the Bolivian border.
Locals estimate that the bodies of some 10,000 Titicaca water frogs have been found in Lake Titicaca and its adjoining rivers.
The critically endangered amphibian, known as the ‘scrotum frog’ due to its unfortunate appearance, is believed to have been killed by polluted waters.
Thousands of the large, wrinkly green frogs have been found floating on the surface of the Coata river in southern Peru in recent days, prompting the National Forestry and Wildlife Service (Serfor) to launch an investigation.

The alert was sounded by an environmental group called the Committee Against the Pollution of the Coata River,....I’d bet I found the problem right there.
They are body shaming the poor frogs! Not to mention men everywhere who will now be ashamed of their own ... um ... maleness. This article is triggering me! I need a safe space!
I hope Peru didn’t contract with the EPA to seal up any old mines there.
Wouldn’t that be a kick in the frogs?
I’m sure somehow the Dakota Pipeline, or Three Mile Island, or global warming in general will get the blame.
Committee Against the Pollution of the Coata River, EPA, PETA...What difference does it make?
You can’t make this stuff up.
Over here! Amphibious discussion in progress.
Scrotum frogs? That’s a nutty name for a frog
The lake is half in Peru and half in Bolivia. The Peruvians say their half is Lake Titi and the Bolivian half is Lake Caca. So scrotum frogs fit right in.
Bart: Hey, Chalmers, where are you from?
Superintendent Chalmers: Well, I was born in Queens, went to Ball State, then made the move to Intercourse, Pennsylvania. Uh, why do you ask?
(Bart is about to say something when Skinner quickly puts his hand over his mouth)
Principal Skinner: Uh, don’t worry, sir. I’ll teach these children some respect for their town. I’m assigning each of you 20 hours of community service.(the children walk offstage, groaning and moaning
Ralph: Intercourse?
Chalmers: Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to my vacation at Lake Titicaca. Try to make a joke out of that, Mr. Smart Guy.
(Bart looks at Skinner, and Skinner waves his hands “no”)
“But all you have to do is kiss it and it will turn into a prince!” Nope. Nope nope nope nope nope.
Looks like they are even rarer now.
They’re not DEAD! THEY’RE RESTING!
Worst. Name. Ever.
o.O
Frogs are the amphibious canaries in the coal mine.
It can’t be good.
The first time I was aware of these was a Cousteau special in the 70’s. “Civilization” has probably encroached seriously since then... any new toxins etc... will probably effect them like a virgin field epidemic.
Too true.
The neighbor sprays RoundUp on my lane, which is also his right-of-way and I have virtually no crickets, grasshoppers or toads, this year, whereas I always had my happy little ‘plagues’ before.
I refer to the stuff as The Red Death.
