A brand new species of 'see-through' glass frog has been discovered in Costa Rica, Central America.
The skin of glass frogs is so see-through that you can see organs that are inside its body.
They are usually found in parts of Central and South America and scientist Brian Kubicki reckons that the discovery of this new species means the wildlife in Costa Rica's mountain area - where it was found - is doing well.
The new species has a different colouring, skin texture and call. Check out the clip to see what glass frogs are like...

Newly Discovered Glass Frog Looks Just Like Kermit, Has Translucent Lime Green Skin
"Dr Kubicki said that the amphibian sounds more like an insect than a frog, which may explain how experts missed it during their extensive survey. The frog also measures just one inch (2.5cm) long, making it relatively difficult to spot among the foliage in the west forests and rainforests of the Caribbean foothills of Costa Rica where it was discovered at elevations of between 1,312 ft to 2,624 ft (400-800 m)," according to The Daily Mail.
