Two amphibian experts from Hiroshima University in Japan have successfully bred frogs with transparent skin. Scientists believe the see-through frogs will aid in the direct observation of changes to internal organs and blood vessels. Dissection may no longer be necessary when conducting research and experiments.

It’s transparent! This is the first translucent four-legged animal. Except for the slightly muddied skin on the abdomen, blood vessels beneath the skin, backbone structure, and even internal organs can all be clearly identified. Researchers will no longer have to dissect frogs when examining changes in diseased organs or regularly testing the affects of medication.
