The Huffington Post reporter Casey Chan wrote on 4/21 that a scientist has found "Kermit the Frog" in real life and it’s a species of
glassfrog just
recently discovered called Hyalinobatrachium dianae in
Costa Rica. It’s bright green just like Kermit, has big white adorable
eyeballs just like Kermit and the males have a very unique mating
call.
The resemblance is uncanny.
