This Frog Freezes Solid—Then Comes Back to Life
Deep in a snowy forest, the wood frog survives winter in an extreme way: by allowing most of its body to freeze.
During winter, its breathing stops, its heart stops beating, and its body appears completely dead. However, its liver produces glucose that helps protect its cells from freezing damage.
When spring arrives, the ice melts, its heart starts beating again, and the frog comes back to life and hops away.”
