Re: Leg Swelling in Tadpole
I've actually seen several bullfrog tadpoles similar to that that were taken from a wastewater treatment wetland in Clayton County, GA. These tadpoles also have calcified nodules and other deformities. An unpublished study relates them to proximity to the waste discharge point in the wetland, however the direct cause isn't known. As to whether the nodules and the swelling you show here are interrelated, I don't know.
