Malformed Frog Radiographic Images

"Amelic Frog: No bone has developed beyond the pelvis and the contour over the right hip is smooth. Displacement of the coccyx gives the appearance of scoliosis (curve to the right) although the vertebrae are properly aligned. The pelvis is usually abnormal in frogs with amelia. This frog is missing the right ilium."
