Great Creature of Nature

New species discovered in remote mountains of Ecuador


Hyalinobatrachium pellucidum is a species of glass frog or crystal frog (so called because you can see their internal organs through their translucent skin). This species is listed as Endangered by the IUCN Red List.

This is interesting. How God's creature can actually own a transparent body. You can clearly see it's internal organ. Crazy ain't it? However, this is endangered species. You might not find it elsewhere unless you are willing to go to the remote mountain of Ecuador.
p.s. where is Ecuador btw?

a frog with transparent skin is about as appealing to me as a hairless cat, no offense to the frog, of course, it's still a cool discovery
