Deadly fungus could explain what’s causing the worldwide amphibian die-off, apparently.

A strange new fungus disease that kills frogs and toads and every other species of amphibian is spreading around the globe and — combined with pollution and overdevelopment — is driving more and more of the creatures to extinction, a coalition of the world’s top biologists warns.

Strangely, the article doesn’t actually say how this fungus is spreading, only that it is. My theory — it is being spread by researchers. Filthy, filthy researchers.
