Wood Frogs Mostly Freeze to Death

They stop breathing and spring and thaw back to life!

Deez frogs are amazing! They survive real cold temperatures and even stop breathing and their hearts stop breathing!

OH NO!

Fear not as their blood keeps ice crystals from forming. Up to 70% of their body can freeze for the winter. Then in the springtime as their bodies warm back up they comeback to life!

The amazing feat that their cells do not hydrate and have adapted to such frigid condition is incredible.

During the winter the livers of these frogs produces high levels of sugars that keep the frog from freezing inside.

That's amazing. Frogs are so... COOL!

I wonder if we inject urine and glucose into our bloodstream, we can freeze and thaw alive, I mean most people are fine with injecting chemicals into their bloodstream, urine is natural and organic. Worse that could happen is they... croak.
