Congratulations. It's, er . . . a frog

A mother of two is celebrating (well, perhaps not) an addition to her family - after apparently giving birth to a live frog.

The grey creature reportedly popped out after she went into 'labour' at the weekend.

It is claimed it grew from a 'larva' which found its way into the woman's body as she swam in a dirty pool.

The woman, who was not named, apparently had little clue of what was in store for her. The only suggestion that something was amiss was that her periods stopped for six months.

Tests showed she had a cyst in her abdomen and after severe bleeding she gave birth to the frog.

Medical 'experts' were reported to have said the tongue and fingers of the amphibian, born in the Iranian city of Iranshahr, resembled a human's.

The reports were spawned in an Iranian newspaper and have spread rapidly around the world. Metro has not been able to verify the story...
