These transparent animals have glass-like skin. Although found all over the world, their existence has always been a mystery to scientists.

Marvel at the strange transparent animals in the world

To avoid predators, these animals often have to hide near rocks that are the same color as their skin.

At first glance, Salps looks like a long piece of jelly because of its transparent body. According to The Guardian, Salps usually live in cold seas. The salp is a floating shell-shaped marine animal about 10 cm long. Salp moves by pumping water through the body. During the process of pumping water through the body, Salp eats phytoplankton in the water. Salps have a rather strange way of life, depending on the cycle they live singly or collectively. If living in groups, Salps will link their bodies into a large chain and move, eat and grow together. Not many people know of their existence, but Salps is helping us fight climate change. Salps move around the ocean surface at night, digesting phytoplankton and dumping carbon-rich faeces on the ocean floor. This has helped keep the carbon “trapped” and not harmful,₂ .

Glasswing Butterfly , scientific name is Greta oto, has a transparent wing tail, instead of brilliant like other butterflies. They live in the Central and Northern regions of South America. They often feed on the nectar of many different flowers in tropical forests and lay their eggs on the species of paprika of the genus “Cestrum”. Scientists from the University of California have found the reason for glass butterflies to have transparent wings. That’s because of their wing surface structure. The wings of the glass butterfly have a random nanostructure, arranged in a non-specific order. So when sunlight hits, most of the light rays will pass through the above structure, leading to the phenomenon of invisible butterfly wings. Glass butterflies are able to survive in the wild thanks to these transparent wings that prevent them from being seen and hunted by predators.

Glass fish (Kryptopterus bicirrhis), also known as glass arowana, Indian ghost fish. They were originally found in lakes in Thailand. This fish lives in turbid, slow-moving or calm rivers. They are adapted to an environment with a temperature of about 21-26 °C. The glassfish is a diurnal predator, feeding mainly on water bugs and occasionally smaller fish. Glass fish is considered one of the strangest fish in the world. They have a transparent body, due to the low pigmentation of the body, we can see its parts clearly. When light hits the body, they will have an iridescent color, after death, they will have a milky color. Adult glass fish can be 8 cm long.

The golden ladybug has the ability to change shape depending on the environment by changing the circulatory system in the body. They can change color from yellow to red with black dots. When golden ladybugs are isolated from their natural habitat, they quickly lose their color and turn muddy brown. The reason why the golden ladybug can do this is because its shell is covered with a liquid layer made up of dew drops on the leaves. This liquid layer makes the human eye feel yellow when looking at it.
