Strange, transparent creatures on the blue planet
(GDVN) – To defend themselves, many marine animals take advantage of transparency as a form of camouflage. Their fuzzy bodies also help them show off the unique colors in their bodies. Unknowingly, these unique creatures have contributed their unique colors to the beauty and mystery of the vast sea….
Most widely distributed in Venezuela, the Glass Frog prefers to live in the cloud forests of Central and South America. The skin under the glass frog’s abdomen is completely transparent, so internal organs such as the heart, liver, and digestive system can be clearly seen from the outside. This frog species is usually nocturnal, and during the day it camouflages itself on the underside of leaves. (Photo: Internet)
Appearing in the waters of the southern hemisphere, the “invisible” squid (scientific name is Teuthowenia pellucida) has the ability to curl up and roll like a sea urchin. This is a favorite dish of deep-water animals such as sharks or whales. (Photo: Internet)

This is a “barrel-eye” fish that lives in the deep ocean, with the scientific name Macropinna microstoma. They have a transparent head and tubular eyes. Since their discovery in 1939, biologists have known that their eyes are very good at absorbing light. But with tubular eyes, barrel-eye fish can only see what is above its head. (Photo: Internet)
Found during a deep-sea expedition in the North Atlantic Ocean. They have a similar shape to shrimp, except that their entire body is incredibly transparent. Scientists say that in the dark environment of the deep sea, animals have strange shapes and transparent bodies to camouflage in the dark. (Photo: Internet)
This zebrafish was specifically “designed” by genetic scientists using breeding methods in 2008. This transparent zebrafish is used for the purpose of studying the spread of diseases in the body. live. (Photo: Internet)
Appearing in Central America, from Mexico to Panama, the “glass wing” butterfly has membranes connecting the wing veins that are as transparent as glass. (Photo: Internet)
Seahorses range in size from 16 mm to 35 cm. Seahorses are the only species where adult males are capable of “pregnancy”. Some species of seahorses are transparent as we see in the image below. (Photo: Internet) This remarkable beetle is not completely transparent, but it does have an almost invisible carapace. The purpose of the transparent outer shell is to deceive predators.

Sea slugs have almost transparent bodies and swim vertically with fins that look like angel wings. (Photo: Internet)This is a species in the same family as coral. (Photo: Internet)Without anything to defend themselves, the bodies of many fish larvae become transparent as a way to deceive predators, such as this scorpion fish in Hawaii, USA.
