    I don’t think I’d leave dad alone with the frog. He probably likes frog legs, and other parts as well.

    Considering that Cocs live in both the water and the land, doesn’t that make them Amphibians?

    Amphibians usually start out as gill-using larvae who live entirely in water, then metamorphose into lung-using land based adults.

    Crocs are reptiles who are born with lungs.

    They might be regarded as amphibiOUS, but they aren’t amphibiANS.

    @BillWa

    They’re closely related, but there are big differences. Crocs are hatched with lungs, they don’t start out as eggs, then larvae with gills and then develop lungs the way amphibians do – “amphibian” literally means “life of both kinds”.
    .
    Amphibians also have smooth, moist skin that needs hydration; with reptiles, their skin is hidden underneath their scales.

    Larry, stick to drinking your beer and leave Junior’s friend Freddy alone! Junior’s double- facepalm is warranted.

    Junior’s rebellious streak continues. Dating a zebra, friends with an amphibian. Beside rampant stupidity what did dad do to deserve all this?

    I’m pretty sure BillWa was trying to make a joke….

    They can’t all be gems.
    As I know altogether too well.

    In any case, if Larry sounds hoarse later, he might have a little frog in his throat.

    And ya gotta wonder how Patty is gonna react when she learns Larry actually caught something that could be a potential prey and he released it. Freddy doesn’t appear to have the coloration of a poisonous frog.
