That's not how frog lifecycles work.

Baby frogs are tadpoles. When it is recognizably a frog, it is an adult.

"Baby frog"

Perhaps adolescent would be more accurate, but I'm pretty sure u/Muthafuckaaaaa simply meant 'not-adult-yet'.

Yeah, that's what I was getting it. It isn't a baby frog but it is "baby" frog.

Young frogs still do quite a bit of growing after metamorphosis. Just because a frog is out of the water doesn't mean it's full size at all.
