Glass Frogs (Amanda)

Glass Frogs live in Costa Rica. They are usually a lime green colour with a see-through belly, but some are completely see-through. You can see their organs through their bodies if you flip them upside down. They are about 3 to 7.5 cm (1.2 to 3 in) long. The frogs lay their eggs on leaves that hang over moving water, so that when the eggs hatch the tadpoles fall into the river. They sometimes protect their eggs until the eggs hatch. On the other hand, Glass Frogs have been known to eat their young. Some of the different kinds of Glass Frogs that live in Costa Rica are the Fleischmann’s Glass Frog, the Powdered Glass Frog and the Bare-hearted Glass Frog.
