### The Invisible Frog: Progress, but Motion is the Enemy
*Primary discovery by **[[Chief Scientist Dr. Orson Hopp]]** on June 14, 2023*
At Frog Ai Research, our latest experiment with Rana Invisibilis, or the 'Invisible Frog,' has made some progress, though the results are not yet fully as expected. Rana Invisibilis has successfully achieved partial invisibility, but with one key limitation: the frog only remains invisible when it is entirely still. Unfortunately, any attempt to move instantly renders it visible again.
Lead researcher Dr. Orson Hopp explained, “Our goal was to create a frog capable of blending into its surroundings even while moving. However, Rana Invisibilis interpreted the task differently. It has mastered stillness to the point where it becomes completely invisible—but the moment it hops, the illusion breaks.”
Early field tests show that this approach has yet to fool the frog's prey. Local flies have quickly learned that as soon as the frog attempts to strike, it becomes visible once more, and they continue to evade its reach. This has left Rana Invisibilis both hungry and somewhat confused.
**[[Senior Engineer Professor Kermit Bogg]]** remarked, “This frog is great at staying still, but we really need to figure out how to make the invisibility persist during motion. Otherwise, we’re just training frogs to be very patient statues.”
Despite these setbacks, the research team remains optimistic. The experiment marks a step forward in understanding amphibian camouflage, and the team is already working on modifications to improve motion-based invisibility. While Rana Invisibilis may not be fooling any flies for now, it’s a small leap toward more advanced stealth capabilities.
