Glass Frog
See-through guardians of rainforest streams
See-through guardians of rainforest streams
Armored air-breather of the bayou
Florida's broad-snouted living fossil
White wings, wild wetlands, loud whoops
The leaf-litter masters of the riverbed
The banjo-voiced frog of pond edges
Spots, folds, and a springtime snore
Tail-grip nectar sipper of the canopy
Built for drought, powered by rain
Squeak of the Namib dunes
Hear the trill-spot the gray treefrog
Green, striped, and built to climb
When rains fall, deserts can swarm.
The frog that thaws back to life
Forest elephant of the Ice Age
The bat that sleeps in a leaf tent
Underwool-cloaked guardians of the tundra
Years belowground, weeks in the spotlight
Two-footed seed bankers of the desert
Plant the forest-one flight at a time
Mask of the prairie-dog towns
Bright warning colors. Bitter consequences.
A splash of sky in open fields
Shaggy scavenger of the Kalahari
