The terrible news circulating the Internet this week is that the British Common frog (Rana temporaria) is on the verge of dying out in some parts of Britain, because of a disease called ranavirus which causes them to bleed to death. Thought to have come to Britain via imported fish and amphibians some time in the 1980s, it has now spread from the South East of England to Cornwall, Wales and even as far north as Manchester.
