Learn about the glass frog's incredible vanishing act—a feat of active camouflage where it hides nearly 90% of its red blood cells in its liver to become transparent. We'll also explore some of the most extreme parenting strategies on the planet, from the Surinam toad whose young erupt from its back , to the now-extinct gastric-brooding frog that repurposed its stomach into a functional womb.   From gliding through the air to using their eyeballs to swallow, this episode is packed with mind-bending facts that reveal why frogs are some of the most extraordinary survivors on Earth. You'll never look at a frog the same way again.
