Tuesday
is creature day and this week’s creature is the Yuruani Glass Frog. These frogs
can be found in Central and South America. Their habitat is generally wet
lowland forests near streams or rivers. They are usually found on leaves of shrubs;
they also frequent waterways with brilliant red jasper rocks.
Its
skin covering its belly and chest area is transparent so you can see its
internal organs like its heart and bones. They are only small, around 2cm long.
There are sticky pads and webbed toes that allow it to lay its eggs on the
underside of leaves that hang over water. When they hatch the larvae fall into
the water.
Its back
is yellowish-green with lime blotches which blend perfectly with the leaves on which
they live. It also has bulging golden-brown eyes.
Shoot, I never see the ones that Misty chases...
