The first fluorescent frog to be found in the world
Incidentally, Brazilian and Argentine scientists have discovered the first fluorescent frog in the world.
The discovery occurred in Argentina when a team of scientists studied pigmented metabolism in common South American frogs. But unexpectedly, they have discovered that this is the first fluorescent frog in the world.

Under normal light, this frog skin is yellowish brown with reddish spots, but when exposed to ultraviolet light, the frogs are green.
Scientist Julian Faivovich told AFP: "We are very excited, and this discovery has given us a false sense of discovery that fundamentally changes fluorescence knowledge in terrestrial animal habitats, There are new fluorescents that can be applied in science and technology, and the findings also raise new questions about the visual communication of amphibians. "
Maria Lagorio, a fluorescent expert and independent of the group, said that fluorescence is quite common for marine organisms or insects "but has never been found in the species. old".
