Looks fake to me. I can't imagine something that genetically deformed could ever survive in the wild.
And it

hopped away later while nursery staff were showing it to curious parents.

?

You mean they all watched it hop away?

Hmmmm.

deformed frogs like this happen all the time. What is unusual is the fact that it made it to adulthood. Frogs live at the wrong end of the food chain, and at that position normally the slightest injury or inability is a death sentence.

With three heads and six legs? I know there are deformities occur, but not on that scale.

Thats why I think it's a fake. It would have a hell of a time movbing, and I can't imagine how it would catch enough food to eat. God only knows what the tadpole looked like.
