🐸 Glass frogs are remarkable amphibians, notable for their translucent skin on their undersides, allowing you to see their internal organs, including their heart, liver, and gastrointestinal tract. Native to the rainforests of Central and South America, these frogs thrive in humid environments near rivers and streams. Their transparency serves as camouflage, blending in seamlessly with foliage during the day to hide from predators.
Glass frogs are typically small, ranging in size from 1 to 3 inches, and are often bright green on their backs, mimicking the leaves they rest on. Intriguingly, some species of glass frogs have visible hearts beating through their chests, a feature that captivates scientists and wildlife enthusiasts.
