Still Waters Posted May 29, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 29, 2017 In the Neotropics, there is a whole group of so-called glassfrogs that amaze with their transparent skin covering their bellies and showing their organs underneath. A recently discovered new species from Amazonian Ecuador, however, goes a step further to fully expose its heart thanks to the transparent skin stretching all over its chest as well as tummy. It can also be distinguished by the relatively large dark green spots at the back of its head and the foremost part of the body. Additionally, the species has a characteristic long call. https://phys.org/news/2017-05-species-frog-neotropics-heart-skin.html?utm_source=menu&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=item-menu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
