dustin looked at the two girls , feeling discomfort , he decided to continue .
" all right , so all of us should know that most tadpoles are aquatic , right ? " everyone nodded their heads as he opened a page in one of his books , that had the ' frog life cycle ' on it , " well dart ? he isn't . he doesn't need water . "
" yeah , but aren't there non-aquatic pollywogs ? " lucas sinclair asked .
"terrestrial pollywogs ? yep , two to be exact . " again , dustin opened a new page on his book , " indirana semipalmata and the adenomera andreae , one's from india one's from south america . so how did one end up in my trash ? "
" maybe some scientists brought it here , and it escaped ? " max reasoned .
" max , hunny , why would scientists come to hawkins ? there is nothing special about this place . " velma crossed her arms , all the other kids ( other than max ) gave each other a look of fear .
suddenly , mike saw something. " do you guys see that ? " as the group looked down at dart , who looked like it had something inside of it , moving . " looks like something is moving inside of it . "
hearing that , dawson grabs a lamp that was beside him and shined it on dart . causing dart to make a loud screeching noise , and for all the kids to jump back .
dart started to run away from the light , and he almost fell of the table .
" it's okay , it's okay . " dustin whispered to the creature . " i got you , little guy . "
now louder , dustin spoke . " and there's another thing . "
" are you kidding me ?. "
dustin ignored velma , and continued talking . " reptiles , they're cold-blooded . ectothermic , right ? "
" they love heat , the sun . dart hates it . it hurts him . " dustin finished .
" so if he isn't a pollywog or a reptile ... " velma said , a confused look on her face .
" then i've discovered a new species ! " dustin smiled , with a excited look on his face .
suddenly the bell rang , causing the party to jump from their places and start walking to their new class .
