What are glass frogs?
Glass frogs form the Certrolenidae family, which consists of some frogs that are known for transparent or translucent. They live in tropical areas of Central and South America and are largely arboreal, live above the ground in trees and other vegetations.
The distinctive feature of glass frogs is their transparency. While the skin of most species is not transparent on all sides or attachment, each glass frog has at least a slightly transparent underside. Looking from below, there are many glass frogs such as the heart, the gastrointestinal tract, and in rare cases the lungs are visible. In some species, the entire epidermal layer may be translucent.
The rest of the skin of the frog is mostly green and usually seen with blue, yellow or black and white dots. The average frog of glass frogs between 0.75 inches (3 cm) and three inches (7.6 cm) long, but several types of the cenrollene genus are much greater and in some cases they are even marked as "giant".
mostAnd the glass frogs are night, gathering a large part of its food, and starting to establish most of its activities after the start of the sun. He doesn't spend much time on the ground. Instead, glass frogs are usually located between vegetation and trees and are referred to as an arboreal or live near and water and streams and are classified as coastal.
types of glass frogs are largely found in the fog. These forests have excessive amounts of vegetation and moisture, derived from their name from low clouds around and often penetrate the canopy, which is the highest level of vegetation. Fog forests are montanic and appear just below the subalpine zone, the last level of vegetation before the ending tree lines at high altitude.
Fog forests that tend to inhabit glass frogs can be found between the Southernmost Tip Mexico and Venezuela and Bolivia. While these forests provide an ideal environment that is rich in resourcesMoisture and food, some glass frogs live outside these areas in Tumbes-Choco-Magdalena, which is located along the Pacific coast of South America from Ecuador through Colombia and Panama. Other glass frogs are located in parts of the Amazon rainforest, as well as several other places in South America, which date back south as Argentina.
mating takes place for most of the glass frog along the streams. Men evoke a pairing call to attract a woman. When the nearby female glass frog reacts, mating begins and the eggs are laid on vegetation hanging through the stream. Eggs or larvae that develops fall into the stream when they are pushed by rain.
