Like the second plague of Egypt, these amphibians have been pouring on to the web, but causing delight instead of destruction. Through mastering the art of comedy, science and iPhone technology, these amphibians are poised to be the hottest new animals on the web since the world discovered red pandas.

The black rain frogs of South Africa have been around for centuries, but it wasn't until recently that they've become a sensation. Folks are starting to notice that this funny face frog bears a strong resemblance to Internet overlord Grumpy Cat, and they're starting to share photos of the croaker like crazy. The frowning feline better start planning a partnership with Grumpy Frog, or she'll need to defend her title as the Web's unhappiest animal.

Finally, four new species of frog were recently discovered in northern Peru, according to National Geographic . These newcomers have been classified as part of the glass frog family due to their transparent skin, which reveals a wild look inside at the amphibian's organs and bones. Unlike other glass frogs that have come before them, many of these new frogs have green bones beneath their see-through skin. What does it mean? Scientists aren't sure. We think it's a sign of more big frogs news to come.
