Photo in the News: See-Through Frog Bred in Japan: "September 28, 2007—For high school students everywhere, this revealing amphibian may be a cut above regular frogs. That's because the see-through frog does not require dissection to see its organs, blood vessels, and eggs. Masayuki Sumida, a professor at the Institute for Amphibian Biology at Japan's Hiroshima University, bred the frog to be a humane learning tool. 'You can watch organs of the same frog over its entire life, as you don't have to dissect it,' Sumida told the news agency Agence France-Presse. The scientist announced his research last week at an academic meeting."
