Clearly, I Can See You’ve Got Guts
Meet the glassfrog, a strange South American amphibian with a nearly transparent underbelly. The evolutionary significance of the clear abdomen is unknown, as light can be harmful to organ tissues (although the frogs get around that with a cool adaptation).

Oh how the times have changed! I don’t think you can own let alone walk a cheetah down the road anymore! I’ve had this picture in my favourites folder and have tried to find the source for so long, thank goodness for Tin Eye!
One person in this train station could probably kill fifty people with one shove and no one would ever know, but they don’t, because people are good. Also, because it would slow down the train service and it’d take forever to get home. BUT MOSTLY THE FIRST THING!
