Glass Frog

No, it’s not really made of glass, but you can see the heart beating inside this frog, one of 30 new species of creatures found in the highlands of Ecuador.

    Awesome! Have you seen the recently discovered, critically endangered Panamanian Rabb’s fringe-limbed treefrog? It has giant feet and can glide to the ground from trees up to 30′ high. The males take care of the eggs and tadpoles. I have to write a conservation plan for an endangered species for my conservation biology class, and I was considering Rabbs’s treefrog or the Saiga antelope; saigas look like they belong in a Star Wars film–very evolutionarily unique.

    I live in Ecuador. Nice to see my country being mentioned, even if it is thanks to a frog :)
