Survivor

Q. How do frogs survive the winter in cold places?

A. The frogs hibernate in burrows or bury themselves in mud. Toads and

frogs are cold-blooded and their body processes slow down as the outside

temperature drops. Their body temp needs to rise for them to move well.

Frogs' bodies have some natural antifreeze chemicals built into them, but a

few kinds of frogs who live in especially cold climates can even survive being

frozen solid.

I have seen two of my frogs that made it through this terrible winter in my shallow little pond...their survival is nothing less than a miracle of nature!
