Default Exploding frogs

Wasn't there a thread on here about the exploding frogs in Germany? I couldn't find it with a search. Anyways, here's a follow up story from MSNBC News:

Hungry crows may be behind exploding toads

Quote:
Other theories have been that horses on a nearby track might have infected the amphibians with a virus, or even that the toads are committing suicide to save others from overpopulation.
