Glass Lady

This frog isn't another miracle of science. It's naturally see-through. She's is an inch-long glass frog from Venezuela.

I'm not sure what advantage being see-through offers a South American frog, but it probably aids in protection, feeding, or mating. Perhaps the male glass frog becomes randy upon seeing his lady's spleen. Not something I would look forward to after a candlelit dinner, but hey, I'm not one to judge.

Thanks for the photo, Ida.

Mixed Blessing

Most of us recall that scene in ET when Elliott frees all of the frogs slated for dissection in his biology class. As a lad I cheered that moment, though I later had to do the dirty deed in the eighth grade.

Well, those days are now over, or, at least, greatly reduced. Hiroshima scientists, as reported at Pink Tentacle, have developed a see-through frog. This new creature will allow scientists to study the progress of various illnesses and diseases in the hapless frog without having to kill and dissect it. Why cut it open when you can see the blood vessels and organs right before your eyes?

Talk about a mixed blessing. If I'm one of these frogs, I'm feeling releaved that I won't have to suck in some ether and end up under the scalpel. On the other hand, what's all this talk about illnesses and diseases? Elliot's job might not be over.
