15 Times Nature Wanted To Amaze Everyone But Got Bit Carried Away

The glass frog (family Centrolenidae): It is any of a group of tree frogs found in the New World tropics, some species of which have transparent bellies and chests. In glass frogs the viscera are visible, and an observer can see the heart pumping blood into the arteries and food moving through the gut. There is no satisfactory explanation for this transparency, and not all species have a glass underside. Viewed from above, most glass frogs appear light green. Their patterning ranges from uniform green to green with white to yellow spots that mimic glass frog eggs. Glass frogs have expanded digit tips that aid in climbing, and this trait allows most to live in trees or shrubs along forest streams.
