Don't Worry, Be Hoppy!

I found Kermit in the rainforest! This happy fellow is a Northern Glass Frog that I saw in the cloud forest of Cusuco National Park In Honduras. The reason it’s called a glass frog is because the skin underneath is clear like glass and you can watch the heart beating and even see the bones!

Need More Coffee

Every time I need more coffee, I think of this frog. I found this very sleepy Monkey Frog (Phyllomedusa palliata) in the rainforest of Madre de Dios, Peru. The bottom eyelid that you see in this picture is actually the frog’s third eyelid which is called a nictitating membrane. Frogs, reptiles, birds, sharks and even some mammals have this (like dogs & cats). They keep the eyes moist and clean, and in the case of frogs, can also help protect them while swimming underwater and with camouflage when they’re asleep.
