There's a large amount of literature on amphibians in which the urodeles
(salamanders ) can regenerate limbs throughout life, but anurans (frogs)
lose the ability at metamorphosis. The literature looks at differences
between these groups responsible for the major differences in regenerative
abilities.

and pollution. \ \
