Glass frog. Close-up of the underside of a glass frog (Hyalinobatrachium sp.), showing its translucent skin and its internal organs. While the general background colouration of most glass frogs is primarily lime green, the abdominal skin of some members of this family is transparent. The internal viscera, including the heart, liver, and gastrointestinal tract are visible through this translucent skin, hence the common name.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a Glass frog (Hyalinobatrachium sp. ) in stunning detail. The image focuses on the underside of this unique amphibian, revealing its translucent skin and internal organs. While most glass frogs exhibit a lime green hue, some members of this family possess transparent abdominal skin, allowing us to witness their intricate anatomy. The transparency of the frog's skin offers an extraordinary glimpse into its inner world. Through this delicate membrane, we can observe the beating heart, functioning liver, and gastrointestinal tract with remarkable clarity. This fascinating characteristic has earned these creatures their common name – glass frogs. Captured in the Rio Bigal Biological Reserve within Ecuador's Amazon Rainforest, this photograph embodies the rich biodiversity found in South America's tropical regions. Against a black background that accentuates every detail, the Glass frog stands out as a testament to nature's artistry. As we delve into the realm of herpetology and biology through this image, we are reminded of both the fragility and resilience of life in our planet's most diverse ecosystems. It serves as a reminder to cherish and protect these vital habitats for future generations. This awe-inspiring print from Science Photo Library is not just an exquisite piece capturing wildlife; it is also an invitation to explore and appreciate Earth's wonders from below – where hidden treasures like these translucent beings await discovery amidst lush rainforests teeming with life.
