Habitat:
Humid tropical forests, riverbanks, and streams

Description:
The Cochranella Frog is a fascinating amphibian species, known for its translucent skin that allows its internal organs to be visible. Unlike other glass frogs, its skin is slightly granular, which helps it camouflage better in the dense vegetation of its habitat. This frog lives in the humid tropical forests of Central America, mainly in Costa Rica and Panama, where it is found on leaves hanging above streams. Its small size, combined with its discreet behavior, makes it hard to spot. The eggs are laid on leaves above the water, and the tadpoles fall into the stream as they hatch. These frogs are primarily nocturnal and prefer to avoid human interaction.

Photography tips:
Photograph the Cochranella Frog using soft lighting, preferably at night, to capture its translucent and granular colors without disturbing it. Be discreet and use a macro lens to capture the details of its internal organs visible through its skin. Highlight its natural camouflage by photographing it in environments rich in vegetation, where it can blend in. Never disturb its eggs or breeding area.
