Scientists in Western Australia discover a bright blue tree frog
Normally it is green, but its body color seems to have changed due to a mutation.
体色が青く変わったこのアマガエルの一種は、同州キンバリー地域の動物保護区で見つかりました
The blue-colored tree frog was found at a game reserve in the state’s Kimberley region.
This was announced in a statement by AWC, a non-profit organization working to protect wildlife in the country.
This is the first time a blue color mutation has been recorded in this species.
He was found on a bench in a workshop near the research center after sunset.
オーストラリア博物館で両生類と爬虫（はちゅう）類の保全生態学に携わる学芸員、ジョディ・ローリー氏は声明で「非常に珍しいケースだが、緑色のカエルの体表から黄色の色素が失われ、結果として完全にもしくは大半が青いカエルになることがある」と説明しました
”In very rare cases, green frogs lose their yellow pigment from their body surface, resulting in ”They can become completely or mostly blue frogs.”
Although he has seen tens of thousands of frogs over the years, he has only ever seen one blue frog, and he said it was not as bright as the one he found this time.
