The Frog That Freezes to Survive ❄️🐸 Deep in Alaska’s icy wilderness lives a tiny creature with an extraordinary survival skill — the wood frog. When winter arrives and temperatures plunge, this frog does something almost unbelievable: it freezes solid. Its heart stops beating, its lungs stop breathing, and even its blood turns to ice. To the outside world, it appears lifeless. But when spring sunlight returns and the snow begins to melt, the miracle happens. The frog thaws out, its heart start

In early spring, as the ice in our northern hemisphere begins to melt, the wood frog awakens from its cryogenic slumber. Studies show this remarkable frog can be frozen for an average of 193 days in temperatures as low as 0 degrees Fahrenheit. When temperatures rise, the wood frog’s frozen blood will thaw, eventually restarting its heart in under 12 hours. Watch A Perfect Planet now streaming on discovery .
