Weird Nature Photography: Transparent Animals

Nature is fascinating and often weird, it surprises us when we expect less. Some creatures use the camouflage techniques as a hunting and defense mechanism, others show everything they have, literally. This post is dedicated to the latter ones.

Despite of what we are inclined to think, transparent and translucent animals live also on the ground, not only in the abyss of the ocean and we have visual proof of it. Nothing is photoshopped!

    …. I wonder why Mother Nature decided to let these “animals” be transparent…. must be a “food chain” thing….. or maybe she liked the idea of animals that you can see through !! :)

    I believe it has something to do with everything; the environment, the ‘food chain’ thing :) and perhaps genetic evolution.

    The pictures are awesome!

    It’s pure camouflage, they blend with the environment really well.
    Most of these fish and shrimp are pretty common to fishkeepers, like the Chanda ranga, Kryptopterus bicirrhis, glass shrimps and several other species.

    Just more evidence that things were created by an intelligent designer, what purpose would such creatures have other than to intrigue us humans? They don’t have to be transparent for any particular reason.
