Field Notes

Description:

Like all other Glass Frogs, Emerald Glass Frogs are quite small and have a maximum total length of 31 millimeters.

When looking at an Emerald Glass Frog from beneath, one can easily observe the frog's digestive tract.

The intestines are also transparent, so anything present in the intestines is also visible through the skin. The upper part of the Emerald Glass Frog's underbody is covered with a white parietal peritoneum, but the bluish-green bones are clearly visible as well as the red ventral vein.

Habitat:

Cloud Forest, Terra Firma

Notes:

Emerald Glass Frogs are quite unique among other Glass Frogs found in Drake Bay. Males have humeral spines which protrude from the frog's upper arms.
