New Species Of See-Through Frog Found, Looks Like Kermit

Page Views : 5060121
Glass frogs, found in Central and South America rain forests, live high in tree canopies near streams and creeks, descending when it's time to breed. The glass frog's name originates from its translucent, organ-revealing bellies—though the lack of pigmentation is still a mystery to scientists. Their green coloration, on the other hand, helps the nocturnal frogs stay camouflaged on the undersides of leaves during the day. The new frog may look like Kermit, but it's not quite as cuddly: Male glass frogs are very territorial, and will grapple fiercely with other males who trespass on their territory.
