"Rhacophorus vampyrus" - bleh! I vant to drink your... eggs? Yeah, they don't really go for blood. But the tadpoles of this Vietnamese tree frog do have fangs on their lower jaw, and they do eat any unfertilized eggs in their clutch. (If you're in a forest in Vietnam and the trees start speaking ribbit, you better run)

"Hyalinobatrachium valerioi" - also called the La Palma glass frog. Found in Colombia and Ecuador, this frog does not shatter under pressure. In fact, males are known to guard their egg clutches 24 hours a day. (You may think you can see right through them. But if you take a closer look, you'll find they definitely got guts)

Very good question. I'm by no means an expert (just a frog fan), but as far as I can tell it's because they're fairly wide-spread (at least they were in the 50's) and because they're easy to keep and breed (much like lab mice) Also, they're valuable in other areas of study as well. For instance, some of the enzymes they produce could be used to treat brain and lung tumors.

The brain of a northern leopard frog (Lithobates pipiens, or Rana pipiens in some sources) This brave and noble frog's noodle has been the subject of much research since the 1950's. In fact, some the earliest data in neuroscience comes directly from studying it. (NSFW, 'cause some people are put off by the idea of brains)

An X-ray of a Wallace's flying frog (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus) Truly, this shows that they posses both inner and outer beauty. (Also, just in case you thought bat skeletons weren't scary, imagine these swooping around at night)

Huh. So 'Felidae' got a game? Pretty obscure source material, but I'm not complaining.

"Heleophryne rosei" - a sneaky but pretty little croaker. One of the 6 species of ghost frogs found in Skeleton Gorge. Their habitat is threatened by pine plantations (much like how Spooks are threatened by Padorus) If it keeps up, they might end up being nothing more than ghosts. (It is believed that at one point, they did go extinct. But a large pink alien lady brought them back to life. Don't let her efforts go to waste)

A charm made from the skeleton of an East Asian bullfrog (Hoplobatrachus rugulosus), also known as the lucky frog. (Why is it in a glass case? 'Cause they're always after me lucky charms)
