Rare Blue-Skinned Magnificent Tree Frog Discovered in Australia

A genetic mutation has resulted in a unique blue coloration for the normally green amphibian, thrilling scientists and conservationists.

The blue-skinned magnificent tree frog was found in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
This coloration is due to a genetic mutation that prevents the frog from producing yellow pigment.
The frog is estimated to be 2 to 3 years old and could live up to 20 years unless predated.
Scientists have described the sighting as a 'once-in-a-lifetime' event due to its rarity.
The frog will not be captured for research to preserve its natural habitat and uniqueness.
