Glass Frog
Primarily found from Southern Mexico to Panama to even to the Andes of Venezuela, the glass frog is truly a remarkable creature. As shown in the picture, the glass frog gets it name from the translucency of its skin, allowing one to see through to its organs. Glass frogs are generally of the smaller species of frogs, ranging from 1.2 to 3 inches in length. Similar in appearance to the tree and green frog, the glass frog is often mistaken for its close relatives. Unlike a large number of its cousins, the glass frog is equipped with eyes that face forward, rather than to the sides. I found great interest in this animal because...well it's translucent ;D
I never knew an animal like this could even exist. Thanks for exposing it to me.
ReplyDeletevery interesting how this frog has adapted over the years. I wonder what is the advantage of having a translucent skin.
ReplyDeleteThis frog almost looks fake because of its texture and transparentness from the picture!
