Oceangoing Floating Toad Mothers

Floating the great flat expanse of the wide ocean, with the energy of the hot sun in its veins, the crocodile gazed across the surface of the water and saw boats crewed by men, women and children: settlers spreading East in search of islands to make their homes. In the eye of the crocodile, they were not boats but beasts: floating brown creatures, propelled by powerful legs, and seemingly carrying swarms of squirming, wriggling young on their backs. Some form of giant seagoing toads, then: long, narrow amphibians which host their young within their skin, swimming across the oceans like the crocodile too - cold-blooded companions in the vast expanse of the hot Southern seas.
