Glass Frog
This frog has been featured on listverse before but it definitely deserves a place on this list. The bizarre-looking Glass frog—Centrolenidae—is also native to the Amazon basin.These frogs are green but have transparent skin on the underside of their bodies. This allows their liver, heart and intestines to be seen clearly. In pregnant female specimens, even frogspawn is visible inside. It is thought that the transparent skin serves as protection, allowing light reflected off leaves to shine through the frog. This makes it harder for predators to spot. They live in the trees of humid, mountainous areas and lay their eggs on leaves. The tadpoles then drop into the water below and continue their growth to the adult stage.
