I think that Frogs, like Fraggles, are non-diamorphic, so until you hear the frog's voice you can't tell. Well, unless you're another frog.

In that skit, the frogs all seemed to have male voices, so that's my vote.

If you want a real head-scratcher, try to explain the frog with ears in The Muppets at Walt Disney World!
Yes, I agree that the frogs in the skit were all male based on voice, but I was only using that pic as an example to show what I think in regards to design.

That is true...or is it a stereotype? Maybe some female frogs oppose having hair? :stick_out_tongue:

On the other hand, I've seen male frogs with hair. And wasn't Kermit's mother bald in Kermit's Swamp Years?

Some mail frogs actually have had hair, good point.

(And I just realized I accidentally typed "mail" rather than "male," but I think it's too hilarious to fix...)

It just hit me... Bill and Gil both have hair! Maybe it's a city vs. swamp thing. Frogs who live in the swamp are bald and don't wear clothes, but city frogs have both. Kermit and Robin, who've left the swamp, are probably still swamp frogs at heart, which is why they only wear clothes on special occasions.

Hey, there could be mail frogs, as in frogs who deliver mail.

Or maybe the swamp just happens to have scissors?
