Hyalinobatrachium dianae, also known as Diane's bare-hearted glass frog or Kermit frog, is a species of Costa Rican glass frog in the family Centrolenidae
Due to the frog's resemblance to Kermit, the discovery attracted a substantial amount of attention in popular media. Tweets and news articles comparing H. dianae to Kermit helped images of the frog go viral. The attention prompted Disney to release an official interview where Kermit talked about H. dianae, saying, for example, "Googly eyes run in our family.".

They should check in with Doc Hopper. Kermit isn't the easiest frog to catch!
