\n
Nature is so magnificent that it is always surprising us in different ways. One of them, for example, is the fact that transparent animals exist among us, bringing even more beauty and plurality to our world.<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n<\/div>
\n

That nature is full of mysteries, no one has any doubts. However, among all its things that most intrigue humanity, one of them is, without a doubt, the existence of transparent animals.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n
\"\"
Among all the things in nature that most intrigue humanity, one of them is certainly the existence of transparent animals.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>
\n

It is very likely that you have already thought about jellyfish, but know that there are other living beings with this same characteristic. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

And make no mistake:<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Although the vast majority are aquatic animals, there is always that exception to the rule to surprise us.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Were you curious to know more about these transparent animals? Then read our text and find out!<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

10. Ghost Shrimp<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n

The first animal on our list of transparent animals is the ghost shrimp. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Also known as the glass shrimp, this transparent animal lives in freshwater and is an excellent cleaner. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Incidentally, because of this quality, many of these animals are grown in aquariums because they feed on detritus and clean the tank.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n
\"\"
The first animal on our list of transparent animals is the ghost shrimp, also known as the glass shrimp,<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>
\n

As for their transparency, the reason for this feature is much simpler than you might think: it is to avoid being seen by their predators.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

The animal is so pale that it only acquires color after eating some colored meal, which is usually plant-based and therefore green.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

09. Glass frog<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n

The frog is, without a doubt, one of the animals that most causes fear and disgust in people. W<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

if you come across this animal in front of you, it is very likely that you or someone around you will leave screaming desperately. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

But would this happen if the frog he found was the glass one? <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

After all, the curiosity to see such a different animal up close could be greater than the fear of dropping it.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n
\"\"
Glass frogs are actually amphibians of the Centrolenidae family and are named after their highly transparent abdominal skin.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>
\n

But let's get down to business: what would glass frogs be? They are, in fact, the amphibians of the family Centrolenidae <\/em>and are named after their abdominal skin, which is highly transparent. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

As you can see in the photo above, viewing these animals from below is like looking at an MRI, as many of their organs, such as the heart, liver and gastrointestinal tract, are visible to the naked eye. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

08. Transparent octopus<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n

For sure, the transparent octopus is one of the most beautiful animals on our list. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Unlike the species that is used in Mediterranean gastronomy, this octopus is so ghostly and unusual that it owns its own family, Vitreledonellidae. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Also known as the glass octopus, this animal is one of the most mysterious creatures in the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n
\"\"
Unlike the species that is used in Mediterranean gastronomy, the transparent octopus is so ghostly and unusual that it owns its own family, Vitreledonellidae.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>
\n

It is an elusive species, which lives in tropical and subtropical waters around the world and is practically invisible in the water, with only its digestive organs and opaque eyes. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Thanks to its transparent skin, scientists know that its sense of sight is very good. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

And only! No further information on this intriguing animal.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

07. Transparent butterfly<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n

If the transparent octopus is one of the most beautiful animals on our list, what would we say about the transparent butterfly? <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

After all, this animal, by itself, is already one of the most beautiful in our nature without a doubt, imagine it with this unique feature. Charming, to say the least!<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n
\"\"
If the transparent octopus is one of the most beautiful animals on our list, what would we say about the transparent butterfly?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>
\n

Called glass-wing butterflies, because they have almost completely transparent wings, they are native to Colombia, Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

With their thin body, they go unnoticed by most predators, but not by ours, who are enchanted by such beauty.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

06. Ocellated fish<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n

As you can imagine, the ocellated fish is one of the transparent animals in the world. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

However, there is an interesting piece of information about these Antarctic predators: <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

It is the only vertebrate with transparent blood \u2013 and this is precisely the reason for its unique appearance in terms of the color (or lack thereof) of its skin. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n
\"\"
The ocellated fish is the only vertebrate with transparent blood \u2013 and this is precisely the reason for its unique appearance in terms of the color (or lack thereof) of its skin.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>
\n

The fact that they have \u201cinvisible\u201d blood means that ocellated fish lack haemoglobin, the protein in the blood that carries oxygen. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

With this characteristic, fish survive thanks to the subzero temperatures of the ocean where they live, since cold water has a much higher dissolved oxygen content than warmer water.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

05. Salps<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n

In the top 5 transparent animals on our list, we have salps. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

This animal is quite peculiar, as it has mechanisms that intrigue scientists to this day. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

For example: would he be a transparent fish? Or just a shrimp?<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n
\"\"
In the top 5 transparent animals on our list, we have salps. This animal is quite peculiar, as it has mechanisms that intrigue scientists to this day.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>
\n

Introduction: Salps, unlike jellyfish, are transparent floating tunicates that feed on plankton, which they ingest while pumping water through the body for locomotion. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Although they exist in all oceans, salps are most common in the Southern Ocean, where they form huge transparent swarms.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

04. Transparent sea cucumber<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n

If you look at the photo below, you'll even think it's a character from the Japanese cartoon pokemon<\/a>, but it is not! <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Recently discovered by Census of Marine Life researchers, the sea cucumber is so transparent that its digestive tract is on display. See how strange!<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n
\"\"
Recently discovered by Census of Marine Life researchers, the sea cucumber is so transparent that its digestive tract is on display.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>
\n

Found at a depth of 2,750 meters, transparent sea cucumbers are marine animals related to starfish and sea urchins. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

And watch out:<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

They have nothing to do with the sea cucumbers or holothurians<\/a>, although their names coincide. One thing is one thing and another thing is another thing, okay?<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

03. Glass squid<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n

Who doesn't like freshly fried squid with tartar sauce, right? <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

This delicacy, present in most parts of the Brazilian coast, has nothing to do with one of the transparent animals on our list: the glass squid.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n
\"\"
For those who don't know, there are about 60 species of glass squid and they are completely transparent to hide from their predators.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>
\n

For those who don't know, there are about 60 species of glass squid. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

They, which are completely transparent, have this feature to hide from their predators, as they spend most of their lives in shallow waters partially illuminated by the sun. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

A curious fact is that, as its digestive gland can be seen through the transparent skin, it is common for the glass squid to be in a vertical position to reduce its visibility.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

02. Transparent amphipod<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n

Little known to us, the transparent amphipod, also called Phronima, <\/em>refers to small aquatic crustaceans of the family Phronimidae<\/em>. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Located in the pelagic zone of the ocean, that is, in the area where living beings normally live that do not depend on the seabed, this animal can be found in any seas around the world, except in the polar regions. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n
\"\"
Little known to us, the transparent amphipod, also called Phronima, refers to small aquatic crustaceans of the Phronimidae family.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>
\n

With a semi-transparent body, these amphipods, although known as parasites, are actually parasitoids. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

This means that they are very small insects that live part of their life inside a host, which is usually another insect (usually the crop pest). <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

This, in turn, ends up dying due to parasitism. Interesting, isn't it?!<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

01. Jellyfish<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n

Finally, among all transparent animals, we have in first place the best known to us: the Jellyfish<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Belonging to the phylum of cnidarians, it has a body composed of a bell-shaped gelatinous substance that surrounds its internal structure, from which several tentacles come out.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n
\"\"
Finally, among all transparent animals, we have in first place the best known to us: the jellyfish.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>
\n

Although it is one of the most beautiful animals in the seas, it is common knowledge that the jellyfish is extremely dangerous for humans. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

This is because their bites are very painful and some of them can even be fatal. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

So, now you know: if you've never been stung by a jellyfish, then you're very lucky.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

With it, we end, then, our text on the transparent animals existing in the world. Wassup did you like it? <\/p>\n<\/div>
