The glass frogs are frogs of the amphibian family
Centrolenidae. While the general background coloration of
most glass frogs is primarily lime green, the abdominal skin
of some members of this family is transparent and
transluescent. The internal organs, including the heart,
liver, and gastrointestinal tract, are visible through the skin, hence the name being
glass frog. Their transparency becomes jeopardized once on
land however. They are considered more as translucent than
true transparency. Most species of glass frogs are found in
Central America, particularly from Costa Rica and Panama.
Glass frogs are generally small, ranging from 3–7.5 cm in
length. They are green in color over most of their bodies,
except for the skin along the belly and legs, which are
transparent or translucent. ☆ |
