Original Title: TIL The wood frog has the unique ability to freeze and stay in frozen state until they thaw during spring, and they can be frozen for up to 8 whole months. They can’t move at all, not a single muscle. Even their heart stops beating while they’re frozen.
We see these often. I love their name; Lithobates sylvaticus, which could be interpreted at “the stone that dwells amidst the trees”.
