How Wood Frogs Survive Being Partly Frozen

How can a wood frog survive when ice forms inside its body? The wood frog (Rana sylvatica) has remarkable adaptations that help it tolerate partial freezing during winter. Discover how glucose, urea, and changes in cellular water movement help protect its tissues while its heartbeat, breathing, and metabolism can slow dramatically. But this survival strategy has limits. Extreme conditions can still be fatal. Explore the science of winter survival with FROSTWILD ATLAS.
