A conservationist at the University of California has discovered that glass frogs (Sachatsmina Orejuela) living near roaring waterfalls can attract the opposite sex by waving hello to them.
Most frogs croak to gain the attention of a potential mate a characteristic that is common among frogs, but there are few species of frogs that are distinct. These frog species living near loud streams have additional means of communicating their opposite sex.

Some frogs who showcase their prowess near streams in the rainforest of Brazil, Ecuador, India, and Borneo have been documented.
