Re: Slow frogs!

I suspect it may be a combination of factors as you have described, pehaps there is a climate aspect too, being cold blooded animals perhaps those that hang around the bottom of the pond develop more slowly because it's cooler there - but this species has perhaps evolved to have this split for the reasons you highlight?
