What are "Sapitos"?

Question

I'm watching Plaza Sésamo (Sesame Street) in Spanish. They have a segment called "Patrulla de Sapitos". This is a Patrol of _______?

Answer 1

Although not technically correct, the same thing would probably be called "The Froggie Patrol" in English, or simply "The Frog Patrol". (Sapos are Toads, as Kmaakheru correctly translated, but English speakers appear to favor the word "frog" for fictional characters such as these).

Must be a cultural thing? Are we talking about what it says, or what someone else is comfortable with? Why not " patrulla de ranitas ?" - kmaakheru, Oct 8, 2011

Answer 2

There are many uses for the term which means ulcers, or sores. But in this context, it more than likely references "Little Toads"
