The Glass Frog or Crystal Frog (Hyalinobatrachium Pellucidum) is called such because you can see through its transparent flesh (including its guts). This frog is endangered, so this finding is heartening for environmentalists.

From Wikipedia:
Hyalinobatrachium pellucidum, also known as the glass frog or see-through frog is a species of frog in the Centrolenidae family. The frog is named for its skin which is translucent to the point that internal organs and surfaces immediately behind the frog can be seen. It is endemic to Ecuador. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist mountains and rivers. It is threatened mostly by habitat loss, although conservation programs have begun to help save this interesting creature. This frog is about the size of a fingernail.
