🐸 #Repost See through skin! The glass frogs are frogs of the amphibian family Centrolenidae (order Anura). 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 translucent. The internal viscera, including the heart, liver, and gastrointestinal tract, are visible through the skin, hence the common name is given as glass frog. Glass frogs are arboreal, meaning they mainly live in trees, and only come out for mating season.The Centrolenidae are a diverse family, distributed from southern Mexico to Panama, and through the Andes from Venezuela and the island of Tobago to Bolivia, with some species in the Amazon and Orinoco River basins, the Guiana Shield region, southeastern Brazil, and northern Argentina ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ Credit: @viralbiology via @bio_sapiens • • • • #frog #frogsofinstagram #glasstreefrog #amphibians #wildlife #wildlifephotography #environment #photography #animalplanet #wildlifephotography #wildlifephotos https://www.instagram.com/p/CBfHg89H_x-/?igshid=1ah7g36hwlvh1
