EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing Fleischmanns glass frog in all its glory. The male frog, Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni, is captured in the midst of its territorial and courtship rituals, as it inflates its throat membranes to produce a distinct call. Set against the lush backdrop of a lowland rainforest in Jama Coaque Reserve, located in Ecuador's Manabi Province within the Choco Biological Region, this image encapsulates the beauty and diversity of South American fauna. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this amphibian are brought to life through Morley Read's expert photography skills. With its transparent skin revealing internal organs such as its heart and liver, this unique species has earned its name "glass frog". Its vocalization is an essential part of communication within their habitat. As we delve into the realm of zoology and animal behavior, this photograph offers us a glimpse into nature's wonders. It serves as a reminder that even within our own planet lies hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. With each inflated membrane serving as both an instrument for attracting mates and marking territory boundaries, this single frame captures a moment frozen in time—a testament to the incredible biodiversity found within Ecuador's tropical rainforests.
