Granular Glass Frog, Cochranella granulosa
 Conservation Status: Data Deficient Granular Glass Frogs are one of the frog species that most resemble Kermit. All frogs have granular glands throughout their skin, but these glands are clearly visible on the back of C. granulosa. This species lays its eggs on leaves over streams. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles drop down and complete development in the streams. This can take well over a year! The tadpoles appear pink, but really their skin is also clear and glass-like so the blood vessels are visible - giving the larvae a pink hue. Not enough information is known about the populations of Granular Glass Frogs to know whether they are stable or in decline #AmphibiousAF #GlassFrog
