Frogs, often perceived as delicate creatures, boast an impressive arsenal of survival strategies. Their ability to enter states of hibernation and estivation allows them to endure extreme temperatures in both cold and dry seasons. The wood frog, for instance, can freeze and thaw cyclically, with high glucose levels preventing cellular damage. This ancient defense mechanism is not only fascinating but highlights how these creatures, often found in diverse habitats, can thrive against the elements.
